A wonderful classic British calcite specimen consisting of a twinned gemmy colorless glassy lustrous grouping measuring 5.2 x 4.6 x 4.5 cm in size overall. The twin planes are very obvious. Neat with several non-twinned crystals present as well. Complete all around; the only damage that I can find is on the back side of the piece and that being one of the non-twinned crystals cleaved at a termination. This is hard to detect. Overall in great condition. A very choice British classic. Ex Lloyd Tate collection. Ref: Symes & Young, Minerals of Northern England (2008).

Beautiful glassy colorless gemmy transparent calcite crystals forming a 8.6 x 6.0 x 5.3 cm cluster without matrix. Very neat crystallography on this one with a first generation scalenohedral calcite crystal, this studded by a later generation rhombohedral crystal, with the first generation crystal termination coming through the later rhombohedral crystal. Complete all around; I can find no points of attachment. I can find very tiny chipping along one crystal edge, this only seen by my eyes with a 10x loupe. I think that overall this is in excellent condition damage-wise. Ex Lloyd Tate collection. Ref: The Mineralogical Record (2001): 32: 3; World of Stones 4/94.

A beautiful large cabinet combination piece from this prolific locality. The pictures here do not do this specimen the slightest justice! The piece consists of a 16.5 x 9.0 x 5.0 cm concave shaped basalt matrix, one side mostly covered by peach colored stilbite crystals to 4.0 cm in length. Near the center of the matrix is an attached grouping of pale yellow glassy gem quality twinned calcite set with a translucent lustrous lovely green apophyllite-(KF) crystal. The calcite measuring 4.0 cm across; the apophyllite-(KF) measures 3.5 cm. There is no damage. Again, the quality of the piece is outstanding; the piece is much better in person than as seen in these poor photographs. Ex Lloyd Tate collection. Ref: The Mineralogical Record: 34: 29-33.
