Fine quality specimen Ankerite, a mineral similar to Dolomite, with Quartz crystals. Undamaged specimen with large platy crystals. Has a slight green tint due to Mariposite, the host rock upon which this was found. Mariposite is a dolomitic marble included by chromium rich mica found in the foothills of California and was often an indicator of nearby Gold.
