Mark my words: five years from now, thousands of collectors are going to be KICKING themselves for not buying fine Elmwood specimens when they were still available. This piece was good enough to be in Ed David's collection, probably for its absolutely exceptional association and display qualities. The whopper twin (over 12 cm) stands up at an angle from a bed of Baryte with gemmy little calcites sprinkled over it. There is a small ding at the upper tip, but take into consideration that almost ALL large calcite twins from the Elmwood have tip dings, and therefore they are generally more accepted than with other specimens. Somewhat better in person... 11.5 x 11 x 9.5 cm
