Calcite
specimen number:
1551001
location:
Knoxville, Marion Co., Iowa, USA
description:
Beautiful deep yellowish amber translucent rounded spherical shaped crystal groupings of calcite to 1.2 cm across scattered over the top of a darker amber colored translucent botryoidal calcite crystal matrix. Very unusual color for calcite from this old classic locality. Usually these are crystal groupings of white pineapple type crystals on the darker calcite matrix. I've not seen this neat yellowish color before. Very minimal micro-chipping on the edges, overall I think in very good condition. Measures 13.0 x 11.0 x 4.0 cm in size. Shipping weight: 1.31 pounds.
Size: 13.0 x 11.0 x 4.0 cm (cabinet)
