Description
New from the Springwater mines in Missouri, USA, is this fantastic Dragon Calcite in truly breathtaking color hues. Often mistaken for dogtooth calcite, it's actually quite different in color. This calcite occurs in a few places around the world, but the most beautiful one is found in the USA and is found in only one mine there: the Springwater mines in Ellington, Reynolds County, Missouri, USA. This mine is known as an industrial mine, maintained and operated by the Doe Run Company, which operates with great environmental responsibility. The mine is known for its large yields of lead, copper, and zinc, as well as several other critical minerals that are in short supply on Earth. Mining these minerals also yields beautiful minerals, of which Dragon Calcite is undoubtedly the most beautiful and well-known. Quartz crystals and even citrine are also found here in varying quantities. The mine is known for its fight against pollution, ensuring a clean environment around the mine and responsible disposal of residues generated during mining operations.
