Calcite

Unknown Owner
The banana slide area was a large dipping fault zone deep within the Beckerment Mine. This zone was encountered during the early 1970s, with very distinctive calcite specimens being recovered. This one is an excellent miniature in good condition. The red color is due to inclusions of iron oxide.
