Item Description
A DRAMATIC, very attractive CABINET calcite specimen from recent finds at Santa Eulalia, Mexico. Sharp, lustrous, and translucent, dogtooth calcite crystals are partially coated with hematite and have striking, clay-stained, internal, hematite phantoms. Crystals reach about 3.5 cm on this piece. The vast majority of the calcites are in great shape, and the periphery wear on one side has very minimal impact on this impressive large piece.
