Calcite - color zoned with phantoms
San Antonio Mine, Santa Eulalia, Aquiles Serdan
Chihuahua, Mexico
10.8 x 7.9 x 3.7 CM (cabinet)
price: $360
A striking color zoned Calcite from the San Antonia Mine, Santa Eulalia. This was mined about 20 years ago, and shows two generations of Calcite with different habits. Brilliant red color and with bright luster, the red is most likely from Hematite. The display face is in excellent undamaged condition, the only damage is along the outer edges where it was removed but even that is minimal. A distinctive, colorful Mexican piece that is much more impressive in person.
