Description: Unique calcite after twinned elongated sprays of aragonite with calcite and quartz were collected from Snohomish County, Washington from vertical vuggy veins of calcite which were occasionally exposed during quarrying operations at the Snohomish County, Monroe, Cadman quarry. The large specimen in the foreground is 40 cm. This and other specimens from this discovery/pocket are some of the finest, rarest and most spectacular of the large cabinet-sized specimens I've collected from Washington.
