This is a great representative Bisbee Calcite consisting of flattened, somewhat curved whitish rhombohedra arranged into small rosette-like aggregates. To top it off, the piece has an elegant dusting of light reddish-brown colored iron oxide on one side. The specimen came from the John Albanese collection, and his label states that is was collected circa 1875! A fantastic historic display specimen of this less commonly seen material.
