Calcite on Dolomite

Sourced from the premier mineral deposits of Iran, this museum-grade specimen features a magnificent cluster of Calcite crystals anchored on a rich Dolomite matrix. The central calcite scalenohedrons exhibit sharp geometric symmetry, water-clear internal transparency, and intense vitreous luster that reflects light across pristine crystal faces. Below, the micro-crystalline, saddle-shaped dolomite foundation creates a contrasting pearlescent backdrop, accentuating the dramatic architectural depth and height of the main calcite cluster. Preserved completely in its raw, natural state without polishing or treatment, this large cabinet piece offers exceptional spatial presence and 360-degree display appeal. An extraordinary showpiece of rare locality craftsmanship, it is tailored for institutional displays, prestigious private collections, and high-end mineral galleries.
