Calcite
Empire State Zinc Mine, 4051 level
Balmat, New York
3.5 cm x 3.3 cm x 2.3 cm
Here is a beautiful crystal of calcite from this locale.
It has that highly sought after light pinkish lavender coloring,
with micro crystals of sphalerite and pyrite included within the crystal.
Depending on the lighting the color can appear lighter or darker.
It has wonderful softly curve terminated faces.
The calcite is so clean with a ghostly inclusion within.
The bottom and part of the back shows contact, but the front and side faces are pristine.
A super example of calcite.
