This specimen features a striking plate of red and orange scalenohedral calcite crystals with short, well-defined terminations, hailing from Jerry's Nose, a lesser-known but mineralogically fascinating locality in Newfoundland. The vibrant red coloration is due to internal hematite inclusions, which give the calcite a unique and eye-catching appearance.
Jerry's Nose is not a widely recognized source for mineral specimens, making this piece particularly special. The interplay of red and orange hues, combined with the sharp, scalenohedral form of the calcite, makes for an aesthetically appealing specimen. This specimen stands out and showcases the mineral diversity of Newfoundland.
