Calcite with Quartz
specimen number:
1114738
location:
Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico
description:
Rhombohedral colorless crystals of calcite to 3.3 cm in size up on a crystallized quartz matrix. Sulfides are present as well. This is in very good condition. The crystals are brightly fluorescent red under longwave ultraviolet light. This came to us labeled as coming from Santa Eulalia, I suspect however it could be from Naica. Regardless, a very nice specimen.
Size: 13.0 x 11.0 x 5.0 cm (cabinet)
