calcite specimens

Thin crust-like calcite specimens from the Badlands of South Dakota. When found, this material was a thin crust on top and sides of large boulders of a sedimentary rock. I speculate that calcium rich water must have deposited the calcite in thin layers on boulders in the Badlands of South Dakota. The specimens are a dark golden-like color. We have applied a thin coat of clear acrylic to help make the specimens less fragile. When preparing these specimens we found that if handled roughly, the thin pieces would break easily like a hen egg shell. But they material is beautiful specimens. Order yours today.
