Calcite (extra gemmy on fossil Clam shell)
Rucks Pit, Fort Drum, Okeechobee
Florida, United States
6.9 x 5 x 3.8 CM (cabinet)
price: $600
Winter 2016-17
An exceptional specimen the most perfect, colorful and gemmy Calcite I have seen from the closed Rucks Pit fossil clam locality. From early finds at this now classic location, an ex Arkenstone specimen, the luster and transparency are hard to capture in a photo. A small amount of the original clam shell fossil forms the base of this piece, the crystals had grown inside the clam but are now exposed. Unlike most of the thousands of specimens from here this is in the top .001 percent!
