Locality: Blackstone Mine, Shullsburg, Upper Mississippi Valley District, Lafayette Co., Wisconsin, USA
Look at this glowing crystal of calcite perched perfectly on a plate of marcasite! In person, the calcite is far prettier - it just lights up with flashes from the interio - this glowing look was not captured by the camera. The calcite measures 4 cm across. OLD, CLOSED locality! 7.6 x 6.6 x 4.5cm
