A big, waxy-golden crystal of calcite from Illinois, showing fine symmetrical form and sharp faces, with part of a purple fluorite crystal sticking out of it! The calcite does have some edge wear in places, but you can easily oil these whitish spots out if you wish - they are not actual dings and there is no missing crystal, just very slight bruising along a couple of edges. This impressive crystal was mined in March of 1993, according to the label that came with it. 9.9 x 7.4 x 5.9cm
