Calcite from Sweetwater Mine, Missouri, USA

An impressive museum-size Calcite with iridescent Pyrite specimen from the famous Sweetwater Mine, showcasing numerous sharply formed elongated scalenohedral Calcite crystals elegantly distributed across the matrix. The crystals display a beautiful pale honey-yellow to soft lemon coloration up to 5cm, attractive transparency, and excellent luster, creating strong visual impact across the entire piece.

The dynamic arrangement of the floating-looking Calcite crystals gives the specimen exceptional three-dimensional character, while contrasting metallic Pyrite accents and sparkling matrix textures add richness and depth. Large display pieces of this quality from Sweetwater Mine are highly sought after for their aesthetic crystal architecture and classic American locality status.
