Quartz and Other Mineral Specimens from Greeley, Ontario
Calcite/ Dolomite/ Pyrite/ Quartz. Grant Quarry, Greeley, Ontario, Canada. Most of these specimens are composed of two or more minerals on a matrix of massive gray dolomite. That dolomite is coated on one or more sides by pink/ white dolomite crystals to 1 cm each. Calcites are scalenohedral and rhombohedral in form, sherry colored, very lustrous and up to 2 cm each (though most are less that 1 cm). Quartz is Herk. diamond in form and very clear. Another example of difficult to find, attractive specimens, many of which are at a low price.

OKD-049 Quartz/ Calcite/ Pyrite/ Dolomite Greeley, Ontario. Nicest calcite specimen I have seen from this location (and I’ve inspected many, may hundreds of these specimens). This beauty is a 8 cm high, 5 cm wide and 3.5 cm deep dolostone matrix covered by a showy mix of calcite crystals. Complex amber colored calcites to a cm with schalenohedrons overgrown by rhombohedrons. Lots of pyrite phantoms and another generation of micro crystals in areas. You will spend a long time looking this beauty over. Very interesting and showy. Exceptionally clean piece views from all sides. A couple contacts with matrix but these are all recrystallized! Top shelf specimen. 195$

Perfect condition. 300$
