This wonderful specimen of Shullsburg calcite is better in person, because the calcite itself is actually a lot more transparent in person, a really large and wonderful crystal (5.5 cm). But what is best is how it is set perfectly in the curve of the pocket in which it formed, which was carefully removed to showcase the calcite "in situ." You cannot see the contact face of the calcite on the back side. Ex. George Feist Mid-West calcite collection.
