Calcite : CaCO3 | |
|
Mid-Continent Mine, Treece, Picher Field, Tri-State District, Cherokee Co., Kansas, USA Tremendous cabinet specimen of gem Golden Calcites on matrix! This is one of the finest Tri-State Calcite specimens that I've ever seen or owned! It almost could be confused for an Elmwood specimen if not for the matrix. The Calcite crystals are in excellent shape with transparent tips and transparent to translucent centers. They measure 12.7 ... |

Mid-Continent Mine, Treece, Picher Field, Tri-State District, Cherokee Co., Kansas, USA 8.9 x 6.2 x 3.2 cm. A cluster of translucent calcite crystal, of light amber to tan color, to about 4 cm. There is something ultra-cool about this specimen: from the termination tips of each large crystal grows a second, smaller crystal of the same form, with side faces and terminations of their own! Ex. Feist Collection. |

Mid-Continent Mine, Treece, Picher Field, Tri-State District, Cherokee Co., Kansas, USA Large Golden Calcite perched atop stacked Galena crystals! This is one impressive Tri-State specimen and I like the fact that the Calcite is DT'ed! The Galena cubes are mirror-faced and partially coated with drusy at the same time. This is just a neat old piece from a classic mining district. From the Mid Continent Mine, Treece, Picher Field, ... |

Mid-Continent Mine, Treece, Picher Field, Tri-State District, Cherokee Co., Kansas, USA 8.9 x 6.1 x 5.7 cm. There are two completely different forms of calcite here on the same specimen - and the lone scalenohedral crystal happens to have one of the other form (gemmy, light champagne color) growing on its termination! Ex. Feist Collection. |

The copper mineralization, as malachite or chrysocolla, formed as the ... |
