Aragonite - classic, vintage (Ref: 16.1-499-(CN4680))
Cicov Hill, Horenec, Libceves, Louny District, Usi Nad Labem Region, Bohemia, Czech Republic
51mm x 19mm x 16mm
A classic old Aragonite crystal that does look a lot like a Calcite. It has good yellow to amber color zoning and sharp form that are distinctive to this classic old find. In fine condition and well-terminated, lustrous and translucent. The original labels (see the second photo) do have a mis-identification for the locality showing the coal mining locale of Bilina. Since this find at Cicov hill is world famous, unique and well-documented we can correct this with certainty. The great finds were made at this locale in the 19th century, the George M English label included is from the 1893-1898 era based on the address printed.
