Minerals Beginning with "C"

	JC6427.   Calcite.  San Antonio mine, Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico.    6 x 6.5 cm  167g.  $30.00.   A complex group of crystals.  The yellow orange color is not as obvious as in this photo.  I enhanced the contrast a little to show the complex crystal forms on this piece.   Odd shaped crystals are all over this one.   Three views are shown in an attempt to show the 3 dimensional nature of this piece.
	JC6427.   Another view.
	JC6427.   Another view.   The actual color is a muted yellow, rather than the yellow orange in the photo at the base of the piece.  I enhanced the contrast a bit to show the crystal forms, which also made the yellow color stronger.
	JC39.  Calcite.  Charcas, San Luis Potosi, Chihuahua, Mexico.  2.5 x 5 cm  43g.  $10.00.   One of the old poker chip style crystal groups.  Collected in the 1960's.
