Calcite gemmy crystal from this classic North American locality, very transparent, bright and with a delicate yellow color. It is disposed very aerially on a matrix with galena, sphalerite, dolomite and pyrite. It is also crystallographically very interesting because of the shapes of the elongated rhombohedron, with the faces of the scalenohedron. Acquired by J. Astor from J. Montal in the mid-1970s, with labels.
In this fine quality specimen we can observe several groups of galena crystals of good size, with defined faces and edges, and cube and octahedron faces. Very, very brilliant and disposed very aerial on the matrix. They are accompanied by another galena group showing the spinel twin and a pseudohexagonal shape. Partially covered by dolomite rhombohedrons. An aesthetic specimen that combines cubic crystals and twin. Amazing...
A very nice specimen from a classic American locality. A group of doubly terminated crystals showing parallel growth and curvatures on their faces and edges. They are translucent and have a delicate yellow color. With small rhombohedral crystals of dolomite, peppered by microcrystals of chalcopyrite.
