Item Description

Fantastic looking 360-degree calcite and aragonite from Santa Eulalia. This striking cactus-looking cave formation has "stalks" of elongated calcite scalenohedrons capped with a myriad of spikes of aragonite crystals. Complete all-around and essentially pristine, this is a surreal looking calcite from Santa Eulalia. Ex Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection and dates from the 1960s to 80s.
