Hematite-included Calcite

Item Description

A dramatic, very attractive, LARGE CABINET calcite plate 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 about 5.0 cm. This piece has more more clay-stained, internal, hematite phantoms, than most such pieces. The calcites are nearly pristine on this choice larger piece, with only a couple of gently bruised tips. The noted and expected periphery wear is only a modest detraction. This striking large piece has multiple display possibilities. 6.4 pounds or 2.9 kilos.
