Item Description
A striking, very attractive calcite specimen from Santa Eulalia, Mexico. Sharp, blocky, translucent, "wet-look" calcite rhombs have striking, clay-stained, internal, hematite inclusions. The large crystal is 3.7 cm on the diagonal and the larger crystals rest on a bed of earlier, small calcites. This fine and aesthetic, older piece is pristine and is from the Consie Prince Collection. Classic Santa Eulalia calcite.
