Geology: In the Comstock district, mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids circulated through fractures and cavities in volcanic rock. Cooling fluids deposited crystals along open surfaces, producing the layered crystal coverage and natural cavity seen in this specimen.
Care: Calcite is relatively soft (Mohs 3). Handle by the matrix, avoid impacts, acids, ultrasonic cleaners and household chemicals. Dust gently with a soft dry brush.
