Golden Yellow Calcite Crystal Mineral Specimen, Elmwood Mine, USA
About the Item
Although calcite is plentiful and diverse, calcite from Tennessee is instantly recognizable and highly sought-after for its twinned, scalenohedral crystal habit. Often, the scalenohedrons are twinned at their base, creating sculptural, doubly terminated crystals that have an overall diamond-like shape. Elmwood specimens also tend to exhibit more translucence than other varieties of calcite and will often appear to glow with just a hint of light.
This is an attractive example with a large primary crystal that is not just sizeable but also exhibits the classic doubly-terminated crystal habit and golden coloring for which Elmwood is loved. The crystal has a gemlike appearance thanks to its naturally glossy faces and sharp terminations. With its translucence and golden, honey coloring, the piece appears to glow from within with just a hint of light. The geometric crystal is dramatically positioned across the peak of a contrasting matrix, making for an incredibly sculpturesque display. With its artistic aesthetics and sharp form, it is hard to believe that this marvel of nature is millions of years old.
