A classic, well-displayed calcite from the Thomasville Crushed Stone Quarry of Pennsylvania. The striking, 7.0 cm, translucent and lustrous, golden-amber crystal is doubly terminated and twinned and rests very nicely on the box-work limestone matrix. The crystal faces are very sharp and lightly striated. Excellent quality Thomasville material from the George Feist Collection # 1987.
