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. This piece is highly unusual, in that many of the scalenohedrons are fully coated with hematite and stand out prominently next to calcites with no hematite. Crystals reach 4.4 cm on this very sculptural, triangular piece. The vast majority of the calcites are in great shape, and the minimal periphery wear has modest impact on this impressive large piece. 7.3 pounds or 3.3 kilos.
