An excellent cabinet cluster of lustrous, translucent, amber calcite rhombs with the rare, nearly cubic (pseudocubic, to be more precise) crystal habit from the famous quarries at Clay Center, Ohio. The large, central crystal is 1.7 cm on edge. Superb and rare, old-time material for the locale. An accompanying Albanese label dates from 1953-1968. Ex. George Feist Collection # 2472.
