Found this Beautiful Calcite

[fossis]

found this piece of "Beautiful Calcite" in a local
Flea Market, gave $40.00 for it, but some the same size
in local rock Shops sell for about a $100.00 more, made a
nice addition to my Mineral Collection.

Nice big specimen there fossis! How is your collection set up? By type, location, size, or whatever you like the looks of?

Good deals on specimens can be had at yard sales and flea markets.

Thanks, I like the odd, strange, & curious, like magnatite with little metal shavings standing up on it, balls from 6,000
feet deep off the florida coast, poison rocks,(Arsenic) kept in a plastic case, OK rattle rocks, (hollow with gravels inside), meteorites, tectites,
all kinds of fossils, from Mastadon teeth to tiny sharks teeth, & every
kind of Beautiful Mineral that catches my eye, usually seperated into types, & of course my "namesake", fossils from coal mines.

These probably came out of Mexico, I would think.

Wow! Seems like it's in a good shape as well, not to many places where I can see damages.
Congrats

I wish I had my own Bathisphere, but I traded for
it, (Florida rock), Phosphate nodule 3,000 ' deep off Blake's Plateau,
125 miles E. of Jacksonville.
Natural Magnet came from Magnet Cove AR, something like 125 different minerals found there, I collected 2 five gallon buckets of "pyrite"
Meteorite was found in Africa, (fell in 1848,) I didn't find it ,
although (I am getting long in the tooth). LOL it was a trade,


Tecktite I traded for, probably from Indochina.
Traded for the Arsenic rock.
Enjoy, Fossis...........

Hey Fossis...

My wife has an orange rock like that one, and she's always scraping pieces off into my food.

She told me arsenic was a "spice."

closely, I'll check back in a few weeks,
