8.3 x 5.9 x 5.9 cm. A translucent, yellow-tan scalenohedron of calcite, complete all around and terminated, that has wrapped around an earlier generation of crystal growth that was coated with microcrystalline calcite, so that it appears almost like a phantom.

7.9 x 6.5 x 4.5 cm. From the collection of Richard Kosnar, a crystal of deep red cinnabar with an unusually elongated form of which you can see more than 2 centimeters emerging from the calcite crystals that surround it! Nearby in side the pocket is a cluster of sharp quartz crystals.

8.9 x 5.9 x 5.4 cm. An aesthetic example of a Sweetwater calcite, not just because the crystal is suffused with golden-yellow color, but more importantly, it is nestled in a bed of contrasting opaque galena crystals. The calcite itself measures 6 cm top to bottom. Ex. Feist Collection.
