Size: 9x8x6.5 cm
Species: Calcite
Locality: 3900' Level, Empire State Mine #4, Balmat, St. Lawrence County, New York, USA
Description: The color, size, condition, and luster all contribute towards making this an exceptional twinned calcite from the Empire State Mine in New York. These purple calcites certainly rank among one of the finest find of American minerals in the past decade. For its size this is one of my favorite specimens that I have seen from the find primarily due to its intense color which is normally only seen in the larger specimens. Additionally the luster on this specimen is extremely high and appears glistening wet under any lighting. This specimen exhibits multiple twinning’s with a re-entrant angle clearly seen on the front and the back of the specimen. In pristine condition outside of the contact near the base of the specimen that does into the acrylic base.
