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 5.0 cm on this piece. The two teeth in the center are certainly spectacular and are pristine. The display view is essentially pristine. The periphery wear on the back is out-of-sight in the display view.
