An impressive, tilted, large cabinet cluster of large, golden-amber calcite scalenohedrons from the famous Joplin Field. The translucent and lustrous crystals have striking, blocky, stepped-growth faces. Interestingly, the two or three large terminations on one end turn into a multitude of doubly terminated crystals on the other end. Nearly pristine, except for trivial edge-wear. Classic, large, old-time material from the George Feist Collection #1660.
