PostPosted: Feb 20, 2024 07:10    Post subject: Collection of Carles Millan: Calcite from Elmwood

Description: Two glassy gem crystals of calcite to 37 mm in length set nicely on a breccia matrix with crystallized sphalerite and white pearly dolomite crystals. One of the calcite crystals is twinned. It seems like there are two generations, since the habits of both neighbor calcite crystals are different. No damage.

Largest crystal size: 37 mm tall.
Mass: 162 g.
Locality: From Elmwood Mine, Carthage, Central Tennessee Ba-F-Pb-Zn District, Smith County, Tennessee, USA.

Oh, I forgot that:
CONGRATULATIONS ON TWO MILLION VIEWS!
Well deserved! Not only because you have a great taste for aesthetics but also because you always provide so much information. About the specimens, their paragenesis, their exact size and weight, their provenance. I consider you a real mineral connoisseur who is an important member of our community. I hope you're doing well, please keep posting all the great stuff that made your collection thread so popular!

A lot to do, little time and no new minerals since my Madan galena from november. But I look into the forum almost every day :-)

Best regards
Tobi
