Item Description
A dramatic, very attractive, CABINET 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 6.2 cm on this piece. The calcites are essentially pristine, and the periphery wear one one side has minimal impact on this impressive large piece.
