Calcite crystal twin
description: <p style="text-align: justify;">LOCALITY: Red Dome Mine, Chillagoe, Queensland, Australia</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />3" tall</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br />It is probably the best Australian calcite specimen in existence and would be in place in any world class calcite collection. It was bought from a Chillagoe miner during a visit to Chillagoe in 1997. The specimen is three dimensional and a trivial amount of damage could be removed or made less obvious by a professional mineral specimen preparator (although the piece is fine "as is").
