First opened in the 1970s, the Elmwood Mine (the Elmwood-Gordonsville-Cumberland mining complex) has produced some of the world's finest calcite crystals, many of which are twinned. Over the years, miners referred to the clear gemmy calcites observed on this specimen as "jewels". This specimen is from a pocket discovered in 2014. The specimen features one primary calcite crystal exhibiting the popular, strong amber-yellow color and several other calcite crystals featuring a lighter yellow color. The calcite crystals on this specimen are in good condition and have glassy luster. This is a superior quality calcite specimen from a classic American locale. Dimensions (cm): 5.5 H x 11 W x 6.5 D.
