Calcite with Quartz
specimen number:
2241102
location:
Deardorff Mine, Hardin Co., Illinois, USA
description: Very unusual two generation calcite specimen on smoky sparkling crystallized quartz matrix. I have never seen something quite like this from Illinois. The first-generation shows a dark smoky double terminated translucent crystal 9.0 cm across, this hosting several second-generation crystals with gorgeous gemmy glassy Amber crystals to 7.5 cm in length. Shows nicely all around with very minimal chipping present, I think in very good condition. Quite nice on the smoky quartz crystal matrix. Measures 11.0 x 11.0 x 6.0 cm. Shipping weight: 1.21 pounds. Ex Charles Noll collection.
Size: 11.0 x 11.0 x 6.0 cm (cabinet)
