Hematite-included Calcite

Item Description

A dramatic, very attractive, 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 7.0 cm on this piece. The teeth in the center are certainly spectacular and have only trivial, out-of-sight bruising on the back side. A secondary crystal has a gently cleaved tip and one spot of edge wear and periphery wear on one side can be strongly minimized by the display view.
