“8.3 x 3.4 x 3.2 cm
Calcites from St Andreasberg are some of the most iconic and classic specimens from the locality. They certainly have resonated throughout the centuries in Europe as some of the most well-known examples of the species. This highly aesthetic small cabinet specimen hosts sharp, translucent, tabular "poker chip"-like crystals of white calcite measuring up to 2.1 cm flaring off all sides of the elongated matrix. The piece is around 150 years old. From the collection of Leigh Price, formerly of Evergreen, Colorado.
