A pristine, aesthetic, old-time calcite specimen from the Eagle Picher Mine of the Oklahoma portion of the famed Tri-Sate District. A 6.4 cm, translucent, lustrous, doubly terminated, light amber calcite crystal is beautifully angled and perched on shard of calcite rhomb-covered matrix. There is an interesting welt in the middle of the calcite crystal and the pyramidal terminations are excellent. Ex. George Feist Collection. The height measurement includes the base.
