Item Description

A dramatic, very attractive, LARGE 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 7.0 cm on this piece. The calcites are in very good shape, with only gentle bruising to a couple of tips. Periphery wear on the top left is mostly out of sight on this impressive large plate. The crystals are lined up like sharks teeth!
