Item Description

Exotic looking cave calcite from the mines at famous Santa Eulalia with a surprise. Two calcite stalactites are dramatically accented with curved and angular calcite helectites. The helectites form two loops and two striking opposing angular features. Secondary overgrowths of spiky dogtooth calcites add tantalizing character. One side has interesting secondary overgrowth from differential fluid flow. AND SW UV light reveals neon-green Hyalite Opal coating the piece! Ex De Natura (Les Presmyk) dealer stock. A surreal Santa Eulalia cave calcite with a bonus.
