Item Description

A dramatic, very attractive, LARGE CABINET calcite specimen from old classic 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 5.1 cm on this piece. The calcites are essentially pristine, and the periphery wear one one side has minimal impact on this impressive large piece.
