Deep Golden Calcite Perched on Dolostone

Gorgeous crystal of deep golden Calcite perched on Dolostone with a Calcite studded Barite cluster!
This gemmy Calcite is fully terminated with super glassy surfaces and only one tiny tick on the backside near the tip. It measures 4 cm in size. Just to the right of the Calcite is a perfect little cluster of creamy Barite, covered with small gem Calcite crystals.
From the Elmwood Mine, Smith County, Tennessee.
