JPK23 Calcite
Schullsburg, Wisconsin, United States
9.8x 8.1x 4.2 cm
$200

An aesthetic calcite "scepter" from Wisconsin, 

 

This piece likely dates to sometime in the 1970's, and is a good example of now scarce material from Schullsburg.  These workings exploit the same deposit as the Galena, Illinois mines, though those operated in the mid-1800's. 

 

There are a couple chips, though you have to look for them to notice them.
