    Description

    THIS IS A
    RHOMBOHEDRAL CLEAVAGE OF (MOSTLY) PURPLE AND (A LITTLE) YELLOW CALCITE.
    THE SPECIMEN IS
    APPROXIMATELY 6.5 X 4 X 2 cm
    .  IT
    WEIGHS 129.9 gm.
    THE SPECIMEN IS FROM THE
    PELICAN MINE, TRI-STATE DISTRICT, JASPER CO., MISSOURI.
    I OBTAINED THE SPECIMEN FROM
    FRED "BOODLE" LANE
    AT GALENA, KS, IN 1956.  THE PELICAN MINE WAS WELL KNOWN FOR ITS PURPLE AND YELLOW CALCITE.  THE MINE IS NOW FLOODED AND THIS MATERIAL IN NO LONGER AVAILABLE.  THE SPECIMEN LOOKS BETTER IN YOUR HAND THAN IT DOES IN THE PICTURES.  SEE PICTURES.  I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING WHEN POSSIBLE.  THANKS FOR LOOKING.
