With the mine closed now, it is amazing how quickly these gemmy twins have disappeared from the market. It is particularly hard to find larger crystals without tip damage, something peculiarly common on Elmwood calcites. Other than a micro-ding nearly invisible to the naked eye on one tip, this crystal is pristine, and almost a floater, with one small area of attachment on the back with a bit of sphalerite remaining where it was taken off the pocket wall. These are world-class calcites and are only now being fully appreciated! 10.6 x 4.5 x 3.7cm
