Hematite-included Calcite

Item Description

A dramatic, 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 4.0 cm. The calcites are essentially pristine on this choice larger piece, with only one gently bruised tip. The modest periphery wear along one edge is a minimal detraction. A fine large example.
