4.04 lbs Scalenohedral Calcite with Fluorite 2 Pieces Collector Minerals L110
Imposing lot composed of 2 natural specimens in a massive format ("Cabinet Size"). This set represents an excellent opportunity for systematic collectors looking for large-volume pieces with a highly aesthetic and contrasting mineral paragenesis (association of different minerals on the same matrix).
As can be seen in the overall photographs, both pieces feature formidable clusters of pointy scalenohedral calcite crystals ("dogtooth"). These crystals have an intense coating of oxidized minerals in vibrant orange and reddish tones that stand out against the grayish matrix.
The greatest attraction of this lot is found in the bottom piece. As our detailed macro photograph reveals, the matrix hosts a spectacular and deep inclusion of purple Fluorite. The fluorite crystals exhibit their classic geometric shape, creating a dramatic and highly beautiful contrast in both color (orange/red vs. dark purple) and texture against the calcite points.
