Superb Calcite specimen of Calcite with wheel shaped crystal aggregates. Unfortunately we were not able to pinpoint the locality. It could be from Mexico or China.
The shape and aesthetics remain excellent.
Ex coll. Jean-Louis Gérard. J-L. Gérard was a collector with many interests, ranging from maritime objects to paintings, and from antique scientific instruments to minerals! Over several decades of collecting, he gathered tens of thousands of items in his family estate located in the Loir Valley. The recent sale of the estate and the collections was a major event.
