Calcite

Item Description

Elmwood is one of the great classic US localities, and has produced what are arguably the finest Calcite specimens in the world from the standpoint of size, quality, color, gemminess and overall form. This amazing zinc-producing region (despite several efforts to reopen it) is not operational at the moment and may never again produce these amazing Calcite specimens. This piece features a few sharp, lustrous, well formed, golden yellow scalenohedra of Calcite with good gemminess and color. The crystals are in good shape, despite a nick on the termination of the main crystal. The piece still has very smooth faces and excellent luster as well.
