About Elk Creek Calcite
Superb rhombohedral crystals of septarian calcite occur in cavities within large concretions from the 70-million-year-old Pierre Shale in Elk Creek, South Dakota. The calcite crystals can be yellow, orange, or gold in color and are sometimes associated with golden barite crystals and selenite. The calcite crystals fluoresce a bright yellow-white under shortwave UV light.
