From mining in the 1970s or prior, a huge example of Pugh Quarry calcite, out of the George Feist Collection. The central, large, light amber compound crystal measures 13 cm in height by over 9 cm across. It has this complex, multiply-terminated form, with dozens of sub-terminations leading up to the pointy top. Another crystal has grown across the bottom of it at a 45 degree angle. Smaller crystals surround the base of the large one - in fact, they form the matrix, as this piece is all crystal.
