These wonderful translucent golden calcites with pyramidal terminations were found on a fluorite-covered matrix for the first time this year, and appeared at the Tucson show. This is a really nice one, with a silky 4-cm crystal canted out at an angle from the matrix decorated with smaller calcites and light purple-blue fluorite. Prettier in person!
