From the Flambeau Mine...not sure what this habit is actual called, and welcome any suggestions.
| Description: |
Calcite
Flambeau Mine, near Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wisconsin, USA
81 x 69 x 43 mm
From the East End Footwall Orebody, Marker 418.0 1010 Level
"Wheat sheave" shaped white Calcites to 32 x 16 mm, with pearly luster and light-red Hematite accents are perched on sparkly contrasting matrix of Calcite. Although there is some damage, this is a very rare and important specimen-one of only three Calcites found at the Flambeau Mine in Wisconsin, and the very best one found. It was collected by Casey Jones who sold it to F. John Barlow (#5972), and was later consigned to Casey upon dissolution of the Barlow collection. |
