A classic, old-time calcite specimen from the Harvard and George Elling Collections. This piece features a curved vug filled with lustrous, glassy, colorless, dogtooth calcite crystals. The matrix is heavily brecciated and is mainly sphalerite. Certainly around 100 years old, but no proof, except the old Harvard label.
