A neat boxed group of 4 calcite crystals, in a Riker mount. The crystals are very thin (a few mm) but show incredible elongation and complexity on their other axes of growth. This is a classic style from Acushnet, but rarely seen so well developed. The quarry is now inaccessible for specimens, and these are old pieces. Ernie Schlicter collected them on October 1, 1982, on the 10th level of the open quarry.
