Product code: Calcite - Super-Lustrous Red Twinned Calcite Crystals, on Sparkly Matrix, from Santa Eulalia, cheapest Mexico
A gorgeous mid-sized plate of twisted and twinned calcite crystals up to 1", with super-lustrous glassy surfaces and deep-rose coloration. These larger crystals sit on a bed of much smaller dark red calcite crystals. The red coloration in both the large and the small versions is due to abundant inclusions of hematite. There are also yellow cheapest fluorescing inclusions in the larger crystals and in the matrix (not pictured). VERY pretty piece!
