Starting early on, miners at this classic American locality began saving specimens of calcite, as they had no commercial value to the mining company, but were prized by miners for their great variety and beauty. Collector Dave Stoudt had calcites in a dizzying array of forms from Bisbee. This is a plate of milky crystals with extremely modified forms - so much so in fact that the form is hard to describe, though you can make out some rough rhombohedrons. Ex. Dave Stoudt Collection.
