Description/Interesting Notes:
A wonderfully aesthetic example of calcite from Mexico!!! This specimen consists of a bright red
cluster of complex calcite crystals on a quartz matrix!!! Unlike other hematite-included calcite specimens, this specimen is on a clean, solid
quartz matrix - not a crusty limonitic matrix and the crystals host the hematite inclusions only on the inside - allowing the crystals to retain their bright luster!!!
The crystals have bright, glassy luster and razor-sharp faces!!! Many of the crystals are doubly terminated and have somewhat unusual, complex habits!!! The
red color is quite lively and intense - it almost resembles chalcotrichite!!! The crystals have a wonderful, glowing traslucence as well!!!
This specimen is pristine and undamaged, and displays fantastically all around!!! This specimen
is simply stunning in person!!! The pics don't even come close to doing it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS
WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MAY 13th!!!
