The Calcite (often referred to as Aragonite in this material...I was told that the analysis had been made) stalactites of Carter County are renowned for their form and color. This particular specimen is a superb example not only for the fact that is has the classic deep red- orange color and good translucence, but that the main stalactite is completely intact. This specimen was part of the old Miller calcite collection sold to Victor Yount in the mid 1990s. The piece was undoubtedly collected by Bud Ehrle in the late 1970's as all the good ones like this came from him, I am told.
