Item Description

A dramatic, very attractive, LARGE CABINET calcite plate 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 about 4.0 cm on this very sculptural piece. Essentially all of the myriad of interior calcites are pristine, and the minimal periphery wear has modest impact on this impressive large piece. 6.6 pounds or 3 kilos.
