Item Description

An immensely sculptural 3-dimensional cave calcite stalactite from the famous mines at Santa Eulalia. This dramatic 360-degree piece has four generations of calcite: 1st the glassy cream-colored calcite of the main stalactite; 2nd the snow-white calcite on one side of the piece; 3rd the colorless very glassy side car stalactite; and 4th the striking dogtooth calcites at the termination. A real surprise was the hyalite opal on the termination, with neon-green fluorescence! Complete all-around and pristine. A fantastic complex Santa Eulalia cave calcite.
