Item Description

Beautiful, fine quality, blocky rhombic crystals of highly lustrous (vitreous) Calcite with a gorgeous soft pink hue on the surface measuring up to 3.2 cm, sitting on oxidized matrix, creating a showy and aesthetic miniature sized display specimen from Santa Eulalia. No major damage that I can find, though there are some small contacted areas near the edges. I have to stress the intensity of the luster on these crystals, they are highly reflective with an almost "wet" looking slick appearance.
