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.
