7hhcens ((CALCITE, ARAGONITE STALACTITE)), $1 MINIMUM BID, Beck Street Limestone Quarries, North Salt Lake, Salt Lake County, Utah, 8 x 2 x 2 cm, Cabinet | |
This was collected and brought to me by a local collector two years ago. He found it exploring a small cave in a local Limestone gravel quarry. The cave is probably gone now by the on going quarry operation. It is a non terminated section that is unusual in that it was a thin stalactite that was then widened only part way down the stalactite. A bit ugly but hard to come by since all the major caves which are in Utah County, like Timpanogos are protected national monuments with collecting not allowed. |
