Item Description

Stunning, sculptural, large multi-generational calcite cave stalactites from the famous Potosi Mine at Santa Eulalia. Scintillating tiny first generation rhombs have variable hematite tinting, that adds color and dramatic pizzazz to this essentially pristine surreal 360-degree specimen. The larger calcite rhombs look like faceted jewels set on the stalactites! An outstanding large calcite stalactite cluster with even the mine level known, as it was a rather famous find. This is a large piece, hard to come by today. Valued $900-1250.
