Item Description
A sculptural and impressive, two-sided, LARGE CABINET calcite specimen 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 5.5 cm on this piece. ALL of the many calcites in the interior are pristine. Periphery wear is noted on one side, but is strongly minimized by viewing from the other side. Excellent, highly representative large material.
