The Grays Quarry is a limestone producer in far western Illinois (near the Missouri/Iowa border). Specimens are not common from this locality, and this is the first Calcite that I have had from Grays. It features a few soft pink color Calcite scalenohedra measuring up to 1.2 cm. sitting in a geode of colorless, gem Quartz. A great Midwest Calcite specimen from this uncommon locality. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
