Item Description

A dramatically sculptural and RARE style large calcite from this less well-known Santa Eulalia mine from the Tom Wolfe Calcite Collection. Hematite is preferenitally included in the striking arborescent specimen of stacked sharp, lustrous and translucent rhombs. The flip side shows the normal untinted calcite. Interesting chemistry here! This impressive piece has two fine display views.
