Super-glassy, gem-like, colorless calcite crystals cover the matrix plate on this outstanding, pristine specimen from the Cypress Mine at Bagdad, Arizona. At least three calcite crystal forms are present on this specimen: most are simple scalenohedrons; the largest crystals are doubly terminated, twinned scalenohedrons at 3.6 and 1.8 cm; and there are even a couple of distinctive axe-head twins. Ex. Consie Prince Collection.
