minor 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.
