A floater cluster of over a dozen intergrown, euhedral calcite crystals, with natural sand inclusions. These strange calcites are very distinctive from this locality; American classics. Now seldom seen as much of this area is within an Indian reservation and collecting is prohibited, they were collected heavily in the 1960s-1970s I am told. This is a particularly large and sculptural cluster. According to MINDAT: the site is a National Natural Landmark (NNL) and is closed to collecting. Ex. Harold Urish Collection.
