Calcite
specimen number:
3801272
location:
Ives quarry, Racine Co., Wisconsin, USA
description:
This one I think is exceptional for the locality with lustrous partly transparent scalenohedral crystals of calcite measuring to 6.0 cm in length on matrix. I like the way this one is spread out across the matrix making for good aesthetics. Very minor cleaving along one edge, I think in great condition. The great color due to inclusions of marcasite and phantom crystals can be seen.
Size: 21.0 x 13.0 x 8.0 cm (large-cabinet)
