Wheal Wrey, Liskeard, Cornwall, England, UK

Superb twinned calcite specimen from this classic locality. Milky semi-lustrous V twin crystal up on a small amount of matrix with galena.

An excellent miniature sized example for this old and noted locality; curiously good crystallized calcite is not terribly common in Cornwall. Shipping weight: 0.07 pounds. Ex Ed Raines collection.
