Hematite-included Calcite

Item Description

A dramatic, very attractive, 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. The striking large crystal is 7.8 cm. This choice larger piece is overall in excellent shape, with only a modest cleave to the tip of the large calcite and a bit of periphery wear. Certainly modest detractions.
