0.90 lbs Scalenohedral Calcite 5 Pieces Collector Minerals
Exceptional fractional lot composed of 5 natural hematoid calcite specimens, ideal for systematic collectors or resellers looking for pieces with strong visual identity and mineralogical value. This set stands out for the fascinating architecture of its crystallizations and intense natural chromaticity.
As can be seen in detail in our showcase video, the pieces feature dense clusters of pointy crystals. This formation is known in geology as scalenohedral calcite or, colloquially, as "dogtooth" calcite. The crystals are heavily coated and included with oxidized minerals (hematite), giving them a vibrant palette of earthy, reddish, and coppery tones. This coating contrasts dramatically with the dark matrix on which they sit, creating high-impact three-dimensional formations.
