Description: Calcite Locality: Rucks Pit, Fort Drum, Okeechobee County, Florida, USA (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 9.6 x 9.4 x 6.5 cm. This fascinating specimen formed when gemmy calcite crystals grew in the natural pocket formed by a buried fossil clamshell. The interior of the shell is now full of these golden crystals. This is a large and very complete example of this phenomenon!
