A beautifully composed specimen. A dominant focal crystal of golden translucent calcite approximately 14cm tall immediately draws the eye. This is framed by a flowing ribbon of razor sharp lustrous calcites. The piece displays beautifully in a cabinet and absolutely glows when lit. The specimen is in great condition. Not a single nick on the top of the focal crystal. There is some chipping on the backside of some of the minor crystals. An American Classic! Comes with custom cut acrylic base.

Calcite from Elmwood Mine, USA
Elmwood Mine calcite is one of the great modern classics of American mineral collecting: honey, champagne, amber and cognac scalenohedra, often doubly terminated and twinned into sculptural “diamond” forms, set against black-brown sphalerite, purple fluorite, ivory barite, or gray carbonate matrix. The best crystals have a warm internal glow rather than merely surface color, with transparent terminations, bright vitreous luster, and enough size to dominate a cabinet. A fine Elmwood calcite does not look like generic calcite from a carbonate vein; it has a locality signature that experienced collectors recognize at a glance.
