Calcite
specimen number:
7991538
location:
Sweetwater mine, Viburnum Trend, Reynolds Co., Missouri, USA
description:
A glassy gem amber colored prismatic terminated crystal of calcite set on a small breccia matrix with bladed crystals of chalcopyrite. Micro-chipping is present but very minimal, I think this in great condition. This shows wonderful color for the species from this locality. This pocket was hit sometime around 2007. It was an interesting and distinctive pocket zone because of the bladed chalcopyrite crystals. These are shown in the video up close. This does exhibits florescence.
Size: 10.0 x 3.0 x 2.5 cm (cabinet)
