This is another fine example of Elmwood calcite where most of the crystals are doubly terminated, gemmy, with cognac coloring. The largest crystal is over 15 cm across. This specimen also features multi-forked terminations. It is a dramatic piece with great 3-D display, and is pristine save for the tiniest bit of edge wear on the rear of the top termination (for which I have halved the price intended to ask). The gemminess and quality of display more than make up for, I think, a small bit of wear that most folks would not even note as present.
