Item Description

A classic sharp cluster of old rhombohedral Naica calcites, from a 1970s and 1980s heyday here. This is a special piece for the location, for the sharpness of the crystals all around. Such large 3-D specimens of this style are rare there. Crystals to 2 inches across! Note, these are manganoan as we just realized they do fluoresce hot orange-red under any UV.
