A superb, cabinet-sized calcite specimen from the Sweetwater Mine and George Feist Collection. This doubly-terminated, 11.6 cm, gemmy, amber calcite scalenohedron is set on sulfide matrix covered with galena, dolomite and chalcopyrite. The glassy, 3-sided prism has outstanding, stepped-growth faces. The termination is very gemmy and the piece is very nearly pristine. Ex. George Feist Collection.
