A very large calcite from Elmwood, this specimen features excellent color and form. Measuring 17 cm across, this is a statement piece. Minor, but beautiful gemmy sphalerite is also present, making for a classic combo from this currently closed locality. Some minor dings and a matte luster factor into the price, but in overall good condition for such a large calcite.
