Item Description

A stunning, RARE calcite "icicle" from this obscure mine near famed Mina Ojuela. Mineral specimens are very uncommon from here and calcite is EXTREMELY RARE. Part of the crystal is very glassy with dramatic etched intergrown calcite "icicles". The contrasting limonite bands in the middle and the creamy calcite ends with the gem tips add even more pizzazz to this outstanding rarity from the Ted Bartels Collection.
