2051805
location:
Ground Hog Mine, Vanadium, New Mexico, USA
description:
Very attractive sparkling white crystallized grouping of calcite 10.0 x 8.0 x 4.5 cm in size. In very good condition. Extremely neat as this had at one time been a part of the collection of author John Sinkankas, who wrote the well-known book Mineralogy for Amateurs in 1964. This particular specimen is actually figured in the book on page 363, figure 178. Neat historical piece yet still quite good for this old New Mexico locality. Shipping weight: 0.38 pounds. Ex Phil Martin collection.
Size: 10.0 x 8.0 x 4.5 cm (cabinet)
