Picked this up at Grassy Creek

Calcite on Sphalerite from Cumberland Mine, Elmwood Zinc District, Smith County, Tennessee.  Double terminated crystal is about a foot long.  Perfect condition.  Picture doesn't come close to doing it justice.  Available for museums for $12,000.00.

I saw this specimen when I visited Laurie at the Grassy Creek show.  He's right, the photo does not do it justice.  It's probably the largest and best calcite specimen I've ever seen from the Elmwood District.
