Hematite-included Calcite

Item Description

A dramatic, very attractive calcite specimen from recent finds at Santa Eulalia, Mexico. Sharp, lustrous, and translucent, dogtooth calcite crystals are partially coated with hematite and have striking, clay-stained, internal, hematite phantoms. Crystals reach 5.2 cm on this piece. The dogteeth are in great shape, with only one crystal having minute edgewear. The periphery wear has minimal impact on this impressive piece. A classic Santa Eulalia calcite specimen
