Calcite on Barite with Celestine

A special piece that I sold in 2014 that I had picked up at the Lilly auction back when Danny had his big shindig. It was mined in 1991 from the Poe pod, Cadiz level and exhibits prismatic gem crystals with natural petroleum intruding along the bottom of the front and has celestite and barite on the back. Classy and classic. Ex Lilly, Ex Krasnov, Ex Gay.

Locality:  Poe pod, Cadiz level (aka Saint Louis Level), Annabelle Lee Mine, Hardin County, Illinois

Composition: calcium carbonate
