Item Description

A really attractive specimen of the lesser seen Calcites from Santa Eulalia with good form and excellent overall appearance. The crystals are compressed, off-white colored, "pagoda"-esque scalenohedra in stacked groups. For the most part, the piece is in great shape with only superficial peripheral roughness. If you're a Calcite collector, a Mexican mineral collector or a carbonate collector, don't miss out on this showy and rarely seen specimen from one of the most classic localities in the world. From the famous carbonate collection of Jim Robison.
