A beautiful, lustrous and transparent amber doubly-terminated calcite crystal aesthetically perched on a blade of marcasite-specked calcite from the Elmwood Mine. With the recent mine closing, specimens of this quality are becoming harder to obtain. Tiny little contact on smaller term, otherwise perfect! 2.8 x 2.2 x 2.2 cm
