Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare, 19th century example of calcite from this historic New York locale!!! Specimens from this historic locale are
quite scarce indeed!!! This specimen consists of an attractive showing of calcite crystals on a matrix of
massive, somewhat granular crystalline calcite!!! The main crystal consists of a sharply defined rhomb with
marked clarity and luster!!! The crystal exhibits some smaller interpenetrant crystals as well!!! There are
also two more sharply defined rhombs partially embedded within the matrix as well!!! This specimen retains
an old handwritten label with corresponding affixed catalogue number!!! Rare material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JUNE 28th!!!
