Item Description

Striking and rare combination material from the famous mines at Naica. A very sharp twinned calcite rhomb is covered on all sides with tiny sharp, highly lustrous anhydrite crystals. They look like shark's teeth, when the lighting is right! Clusters of tiny marcasite crystals preferentially set on the edges and scattered on the top are a super accent. Complete all-around and pristine. A fascinating and rare calcite combination from Naica, with even the orebody known. Choice material from the Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection. Pink calcite fluorescence. A MUST for the species or locality collector.
