Calcite, Hematite
Calcite specimens from the famed and historic Bigrigg Mine of Cumbria are always much sought after. The pretty, complete-all-around and pristine knob of glassy and translucent, intergrown rhombs has beautiful inclusions of color-zoned hematite. The knob is artfully set on the calcite-rich matrix. Calcite rhombs are rarely seen from this noted locale, as one usually sees scalenohedrons. Old-time material, probably dating to around 1900 or earlier, but no proof.
