10.8 x 6.0 x 5.5 cm. A fine cabinet specimen from the famous Czar Shaft at Bisbee. Gorgeous and lustrous, bright red, calcite crystals are included with cuprite variety chalcotrichite and copper in numerous, very well-placed vugs on all sides of the robust gossan matrix. The calcite crystals are found in clusters or as beautiful, isolated crystals to 7-8 mm or so. From the 200 ft. level of the Czar Shaft prior to the mine closing in 1944. Ex. Dave & Emily Stoudt Collection.

Calcite (Var: Manganoan Calcite), Calciorhodochrosite from Broken Hill, Yancowinna Co., New South Wales, Australia [db_pics/mdpics/MD-177355b.jpg]

3.7 x 3.5 x 2.4 cm. An old-time Broken Hill specimen of tufted, grayish-tan atop radial, acicular, brown crystals. The old label has the mineral labeled as kutnohorite. However, according to 1982, Worner and Mitchell "Minerals of Broken Hill", "kutnohorite" (from this locality) has been shown to be microscopic intergrowths of manganoan calcite and calcian rhodochrosite.

3.3 x 2.7 x 1.6 cm. A fine specimen of silver wires with two, lustrous, translucent calcite rhombs from the famous mines at Kongsberg, Norway. The wires have excellent form and patina and the calcite rhombs are beautifully placed on the curled, curved and twisted wires. Ex. Willard "Perky" Perkin and Roland and Kathy Sherman Collections.

Boltwoodite, Calcite from Rössing Mine, Arandis, Swakopmund District, Erongo Region, Namibia [db_pics/mdpics/MD-177429a.jpg]

7.1 x 5.0 x 2.2 cm. Freestanding, 3-dimensional sprays of fine boltwoodite xls to 8mm make this a superb species specimen, but also overall its quite unusually aesthetic.

Rosasite, Calcite from Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Mun. de Mapimí, Durango, Mexico [db_pics/mdpics/MD-177847b.jpg]

11.5 x 7.6 x 4.5 cm. Rosasite is relatively uncommon from the Mina Ojuela of Mexico and to find an excellent example is rare, indeed. This sculptural, vuggy, cabinet specimen features vugs richly lined with botryoids of vivid blue-green rosasite on the sturdy gossan matrix and superbly and richly accented with glassy, water-clear calcite rhombs. Seldom available in this combination quality. Older material from the Jaime Bird Collection.

Calcite from Kenoyer Mine, Picher Field, Tri-State District, Ottawa Co., Oklahoma, USA [db_pics/mdpics/MD-178669a.jpg]

10.5 x 6.5 x 6.1 cm. This old-time Oklahoma calcite shows two generations of growth - first a sharp euhedral crystal, then a thick layer of calcite microcrystals that covered the original growth. You can still see the structure of the faces, and the tip of the original crystal sticks out of the top. Ex. George Feist collection.

15.4 x 12.9 x 6.5 cm. A big plate of gemmy golden-yellow crystals of fluorite, razor-sharp, from Spain. The crystals measure to 1.2 cm on edge. They have a superb glassy luster. Adding a pretty contrast and accent to the plate are clusters of milky dolomites with clear calcite cubes.

10.4 x 8.4 x 4.2 cm. There are gleaming crystals of arsenopyrite with beautiful saw-tooth edges. There is a very large mound of the rare sulfide stannite; sharp, gemmy quartz prisms; a covering of sparkly calcite; and even a couple of tiny, perfect scheelite crystals.
