Item Description

One of the rarest and most desirable Mexican calcites are these gorgeous, vibrant pink beauties from Aranzazu at Concepcion del Oro. Clusters of juicy, translucent, distorted rhombs attractively cover one end of the matrix. These are old specimens, at least 30 years out of the ground. I value them highly, buying every one I see when they turn up (which is seldom). Ex Dave Stoudt Mexico Collection # 355. Moderate red fluorescence. Valued at $500-700.
