Calcite

These classic twinned glowing amber/yellow crystals came out about 20 years ago. Finding a good one in todays market is a rare ocurrence. This piece is not only undamaged, but comes with an M Phantom Minerals label. Many of you knew or heard of Neal Pfaf and his wife Chris, and they were my mineral heros, educating me and helping me afford specimens somewhat out of reach (I thought). There is one spot on one edge that could be a bruise but under a loupe there is no indentation or material missing.

Locality: Sokolovskiy Mine, Rudniy Kazakhstan

Composition: Calcium Carbonate
