MEXICAN CALCITE SPECIMENS FOR SALE
We recently acquired a modest lot of very unusual Mexican Calcite specimens from a new pocket in the Santa Eulalia District, Mexico. Specimens consist of sharp scalenohedral Calcites, coated partially with Red hematite, some having internal phantoms that will glow Red under bright light. Called " Red Phantoms" , these examples are considered quite rare and desirable. As a bonus, these Red, scalenohedral crystals are partially overgrown by a second generation of clear, modified Rhombohedral Calcites, making very beautiful display specimens. Each piece also fluoresces a rich Orange under shortwave ultraviolet light. Sizes range from miniature to cabinet. We got a great deal on this lot, so we're offering the below specimens at very affordable pricing. Please contact us with any questions at earthquest@volcano.net
