Item Description

Striking 360-degree mounded sharp calcite crystals on this impressive large specimen from this less well-known Santa Eulalia mine. One side of the densely, artistically stacked sharp spearpoint-like rhombs is dramatically, preferentially included with lustrous brown hematite. The back side strikingly reveals the glassy, translucent, colorless untinted rhombs. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, with only trivial periphery wear. A very fine large example of this uncommon calcite varietal from this obscure West Camp mine dating to the 1970s or 80s. Ex Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection.
