Calcite

The North Vernon calcites have become a must have in any calcite, USA, carbonate, or mid-west collection. They are known to have vitreous luster and a particular “rounding” appearance. This specimen is a good size with just a few almost unrecognizable imperfections (no dings or chipping).  Wonderful layering. Ex Jim and Paula Wilson.

Locality: Berry Materials Quarry

North Vernon, Jennings County, Indiana

Composition: calcium carbonate
