Calcite (ex Dr. Miguel Romero Collection)

Item Description

A lovely and dramatic old Santa Eulalia Calcite specimen, with the sharp, "jewel"-like modified rhombic crystals sitting aesthetic on a very attractively formed semi-stalactitic matrix. The Calcites are sharp, well-formed and lovely to view from every angle. The largest Calcite measures 1.3 cm across, and are fine quality for the species and the locality. The crystals on this showy display specimen have an amazing aesthetic arrangement, with wonderful three-dimensional appeal. The piece is superb condition and rarely does one find a piece of this classic material with such great aesthetics. From the collection of Senator / Dr. Miguel Romero of Teuhuacan, Mexico (Collection #8472).
