Calcite with Dolomite and Marcasite (Mullane Coll.)

Item Description

A DRAMATIC, OLD-TIME, LARGE CABINET calcite specimen from the famous Joplin Field of Missouri. Two, striking, intergrown, calcite scalenohedrons to 12.5 cm are beautifully set on a very sculptural silicified limestone matrix that is nicely accented with a field of dolomite rhombs and a rich scattering of lustrous, brassy, marcasite crystals. The translucent, amber calcites have gemmy terminations and their bodies are partially overgrown with a second generation of white calcite. The calcites are complete all-around and the terminations are pristine. This is CLASSIC and EXCELLENT Tri-State material, that is very minimally impacted by the small cleave on the right side of the large calcite crystal, which is out of sight on the photos. Ex Mullane Collection.
