Calcite with Fluorite
specimen number:
2571016
location:
Minerva Mine No. 1, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
description: Nice combination specimen showing several colorless spiky crystal groupings of calcite to almost 6.0 cm in height coming off a matrix of gemmy yellow cubic fluorite crystals to 3.0 cm in size. Some chipping is present, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a calcite of this habit from the mining district that did in show some cleaving. Slight cleaving on the fluorite crystals as well. The piece is extremely aesthetic and attractive, it sits perfectly by itself or display. Measures 12.0 x 8.5 x 7.0 cm in size. Shipping weight: 1.59 pounds.
Size: 12.0 x 8.5 x 7.0 cm (cabinet)
