Item Description
A dramatic, very attractive, CABINET calcite specimen from recent finds, about 2005, 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 5.5 cm on this piece. The calcites are nearly pristine, very trivial periphery wear and one very gently bruised termination. An impressive large piece, that looks great from either side.
