Calcite
specimen number:
2491407
location:
Elmwood Mine, Smith Co., Tennessee, USA
description: Amber colored glassy absolute gem quality scalenohedral calcite crystals to 4.5 cm in height set beautifully on a thin matrix. These are known locally as jewels, this due to the gem quality of the crystals. Very minimal cleaving is present on this one, this mainly confined to the lesser crystal on the backside of the piece. Still, I think the quality extremely high in this is a superb small cabinet piece measuring 6.0 x 5.0 x 5.0 cm in size.
Size: 6.0 x 5.0 x 5.0 cm (small-cabinet)
