Item Description
A dramatic, very attractive, two-generation, CABINET calcite specimen from older finds at Santa Eulalia, Mexico. Large, sharp, lustrous, and translucent, complex calcite rhombs are lightly tinted with hematite on the 3-dimensional matrix plate covered with an earlier generation of scintillating, spherical aggregates of gemmy, tiny calcite rhombs. piece. The striking, large compound crystal on the edge is 3.6 cm. The piece is damage-free, impressive for such a large specimen. A classic and fine older Santa Eulalia calcite from the Consie Prince Collection. As good as it gets for this Santa Eulalia varietal.
