Gallatin is known for honey-colored and translucent calcites, and also as a tough and remote place to collect. Most pieces are big - the locale usually produces larger calcite crystals of double this size and above. This has to be the most aesthetic smaller example I have seen, for quality, translucency, and sharpness of form! It was long in the calcite collection of Dallas collector (and organizer of much of our auctions) Karl Warning. Complete all around, and comes with a custom base. Joe Budd Photos
