Item Description

An interesting and sculptural calcite from this most obscure Chihuhua mine. Radiating clusters of glassy, colorless dogtooth calcites crystals are strikingly preferentially included with hematite presenting a very unusual looking small cabinet. They remind me of similar calcites from the famous mines at Santa Eulalia. RARE, older material from the 1960s or 70s from the Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection.
