Item Description

A fantastic, 360-degree, stellate or "pineapple" spray of lustrous, hematite-included calcite scalenohedrons preferentially accented with smaller secondary calcite rhombs. Classic older material from the 1960-80s. Pristine, except for one gently bruised tip. This is certainly one of the most aesthetic Santa Eulalia calcites of any style, that we have offered at auction. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $175, for free.
