A beautiful, sculptural, and highly distinctive association of minerals from a new find at Tres Marias mine, West Camp, Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico. Large cabinet in size, large sharply formed scalenohedral Calcite crystals (some doubly-terminated) are partially coated with a thin layer of pale purple Fluorite as well as with darker overgrowth, providing a really eye-catching effect. The largest doubly-terminated Calcite crystal reaches nearly 6 cm in length.
