A very sharp, doubly terminated, lightly frosted calcite crystal from Arizona. This fine, old-timer has calcite classic crystal form and is nicely accented by a couple of calcite scalenohedrons. This fine old piece is from the John Ydren Collection and comes from the Holland Mine of Santa Cruz County, a small lead-zinc-copper-silver-gold mine that had primary production between 1880 and 1900.
