Hematite-included Calcite

Item Description

A dramatic, upright, LARGE CABINET calcite specimen from recent finds at Santa Eulalia, Mexico. Sharp, lustrous, and translucent, dogtooth calcite crystals, stacked atop each other like sawteeth, are partially coated with hematite and have striking, clay-stained, internal, hematite phantoms. Crystals reach 4.5 cm on this piece. The vast majority of the calcites are in great shape, and the periphery wear on one side at the base has minimal impact on this impressive large piece.
