Item Description

A dramatic large 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 7.0 cm on this piece. The majority of the calcites are in great shape, with just a couple of bruised tips. The periphery wear has moderate impact on this impressive large piece.
