25163: Calcite - $8 Congreso-León Mine, León Group, San Pedro Corralitos, Casas Grandes Municipality, Chihuahua, Mexico Miniature - 4.7 x 4.4 x 1.8 cm 19 grams Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order Opaque but glassy calcite rhombs on a
thin limonite matrix. Excellent condition. The locality is
better known for mimetite, with calcite being either rare
or just ignored. Of the 119 mineral
specimen photos at Mindat for this locality, the few
which include calcite show it only as a minor, accessory
to mimetite. This specimen is a far superior calcite
example compared to the Mindat specimens.
