specimen number:
1222049
location:
south orebody, Sweetwater mine, Viburnum Trend, Reynolds Co., Missouri, USA
description: Very attractive golden yellow mostly gemmy lustrous scalenohedral crystals of calcite measuring to 13.0 cm in height on a breccia matrix with minor crystals of galena and dolomite. Chalcopyrite present as well. Slight cleaving to some of the galena on the matrix, to me this is not a big deal. The calcite crystals are in excellent condition.
