rhombohedral Calcite on Aragonite, Cadman Quarry, Washington, USA Muzquiz

rhombohedral Calcite on Aragonite, Cadman Quarry, Washington, USA MuzquizLarge twinned, rhombohedral, calcite blade perched atop spiny and stalactitic aragonite, from the Cadman Quarry in Monroe, Washington, USA. The large blade is the visual grab, but there are at least 9 additional calcite crystals tucked in the aragonite mass. The calcite uvs pinky orange under my not so strong light and Ive read it should really pop under midwave. Largest blade measures roughly 1. 25 (4cm) across the middle. Overall specimen measures

but obviously a vintage piece and excellently artisan made

5” high and 1

with the largest measuring roughly 1 cm long and 4mm across the termination
