Description from the seller

Calcite – Elmwood Mine, Tennessee, USA

A group measuring 12.1 cm by 11 cm consisting of several scalenohedral twin calcites. Translucent in the middle, the crystals become perfectly transparent toward the tip. The Elmwood Mine near Carthage, in the U.S. state of Tennessee, is one of those localities that immediately evokes among collectors an association with a top mineral type. In this case, scalenohedral twin calcite with the unmistakable gold-cognac color appearance.
