Item Description

A stunningly adorable and artistic 2-generation calcite miniature from the famous El Potosi Mine at Santa Eulalia. A 2.5 cm, complex, colorless, gem calcite rhomb is dramatically attached to the front of striking matched pair of pristine, gemmy, microcrystalline calcite stalactites. The rhomb has both water-clear and frosted faces, adding character. Complete all-around and nearly pristine. A small contact at the top of the rhomb is noted, but has very little damage. A fascinating Santa Eulalia calcite with even the mine level known.
