A dominant focal crystal of gemmy orange calcite is surrounded by a cluster of small opaque creamy white calcites and dolomite. The termination of the orange calcite is complex and flawless. Great luster all around and sharp terminations. A uniquely structured specimen from this famous US locality. I note only a couple minor dings but they are not on the focal points of the specimens.

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.
