Mineral Specimen #7017    Calcite on Fluorite

Hardin Co., Illinois

9.5 x 8.2 x 5.4 cm
3.7 x 3.2 x 2.1 in

Sold

Ex. A. Neely, wrapped in newspapers from 1967 of the Hardin County Independent


Small Calcite crystals cover underlying yellow and purple colored Fluorite. The crystals are a light honey brown color. Most of the crystals are transparent. The crystals have a high luster and slightly melted appearance which may have been caused by exposure to acidic ground waters. The specimen was in a large broken down box with several other specimens most of which were damaged because the newspapers they were wrapped in had deteriorated over time.

Condition: Very Good

Flaws: Nothing Appreciable
