Cabinet, 12.2 x 10.8 x 6.9 cm
SOLD
Only on rare occasions are there more than one or two terminated calcites on matrix from Elmwood. This specimen has four terminated calcite crystals on white sugary barite. The largest glassy, cognac-colored calcite measures 10.0 cm in length. Only very minor edge wear occurs on the two vertical crystals on the right side. The flat lying twin does have damage where it contacts the barite, however, when properly aligned, this does not show anyhow. Overall, a super specimen!
