Mineral: Beautiful Honey Calcite Cross on a bed of Blue Fluorite with Purple Phantoms
Location: Minerva Mine #1, Cave-in-Rock Dist., Harden Co., Illinois
Measurements: 9 x 5.8 x 3.7 cm
Weight: 110.25 grams
Description: Really unique deep yellow/orange honey Calcite cross cluster, sitting on a bed of Blue Fluorites with Purple Phantoms.
The one large double terminated Calcite has a second one growing through it! Both of these are really unique. They aren’t you typical Calcites you see with big flat surfaces. They are made up of small individual terminations creating an “etched” look.
The Fluorite cluster acts as a base for these calcites. There’s about 6 small crystals that make up this group. 2 of them have very noticeable purple phantoms. A few of the crystals are not complete as the miners didn’t get the full plate in extraction. Other than that it’s a very exquisite combination piece with very little damage.
As you can see the Fluorites are also SW light reactive
Shipping and Handeling: THIS ITEM WILL BE FULLY INSURED. This is not a fragile piece, but I will take no risks in shipping. This will be VERY well packaged, and come with a very nice specimen box and ID card, much like all my minerals. Insurance alone is $19 for this specimen. So the price in shipping reflects this. I’m not making anything on shipping, and will be happy to send you a photo of the receipt. It also takes me well over an hour round trip just driving to the post office.
I take great care in packaging these minerals. Each specimen gets its own display box included in shipping. Shipped with USPS First Class Package with insurance and tracking number.
Combined Shipping: If you are interested in multiple minerals, I'm happy to combine shipping for you. Please contact me before buying.
Price: Much of my collection is of VERY RARE MINERALS from around the world that I have collected over the past 17 years. This makes it hard to price certain items when I can't find anything comparable on the internet. I try my best to set a fair price, but I'm open to making deals so send me your best offer!
If you see more than one you like, I'm happy to give additional discounts.
