Identity HelpMexican Calcite locality?

14th Jan 2010 15:58 UTCNik Nikiforou

Hi everyone,


I recently purchased this Calcite; it came with a label stating that it was from the Gail Greer collection with a locality of Chihuahua, Mexico. Can any of the Calcite/Mexican mineral experts out there hazard a guess as to the specific locality?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi Nik,


I've seen these in old collections labeled as gypsum and some as calcite from near Ensenada, Baja, Mexico. I also recall MANY years ago an article in Rock & Gem that featured one of these from the Ensenada area and was labeled as gypsum---article by WRC Shedenhelm who wrote extensively for R&G at that time. A quick acid test would resolve---perhaps calcite ps. gypsum?


Take care,

Dana


PS--maybe I'll see you in Tucson!?

Hi Dana,


Thanks for your input. The fizz test does confirm Calcite.


I'm planning on getting to Tucson around the 24th (will be driving). I would love to see you, it's been a couple of years at least. Will you be going to the annual Mariachi lunch event?


Best,

Nik
