A stunning cabinet calcite specimen from the Elmwood Mine. This very glassy and gemmy, amber to golden-amber piece is fabulously doubly terminated and the large crystal at the top is twinned. One end is a huge, gemmy, golden-amber termination, while the other end is a striking cluster of gemmy "shark's teeth." Calcites like this are what Elmwood is renowned for. This piece is very nearly pristine.
