Calcite
A TOTALLY PRISTINE, SUPERB matrix plate covered with glassy, water-clear calcite scalenohedrons to 3.0 cm from the Wyndham Mine, Egremont, England. It is incredible, that there are no dings or broken crystals, except for along the periphery! The longest crystal is flat-lying. The calcites have less-common, modified terminations, with more faces, and many are preferentially dusted with tiny microcrystals of siderite or hematite? This is a CLASSIC English calcite in outstanding condition. Ex. Ed Ruggiero Collection, who purchased this superb piece from English dealer Richard Barstow in 1976. According to Ed's card, the piece was mined in the 1930s and came from a miner's collection.
