Very Nice! Thanks for the pics.
Unusual Calcite and unusually LARGE!
Yes, they would make good display pieces.
Post a pic of them cleaned up if you can.

heyy coldwater......nice finds. The first looks like a spectacular cutter. Seems to have plumes as well as a small orbicular pattering and drusy pockets to boot. Reminiscent of small patterned Ocean Jasper. Did you find more than the one piece of it?

Figure I have about 60-80 lbs of it, found it in one large chunk to big to lift, gave it a couple good whacks with a crack hammer and ended up with about 10 chunks, some going to the 20 lb plus side...probably more in the area....haven't explored it enough...Coldwatergold

Coldwater, Glad to hear that you have more than a tiny bit of this material. I leave Quartzsite in a few days and am headed to NW North Dakota. I'll try to contact you soon to inquire further about acquiring some.
Thanks.....mikey
