We have lately been featuring some very unusual specimens from the old Santa Eulalia mining area, and this is no exception: a branching, floater cluster of translucent calcite crystals richly included with hematite, which gives them their color. The calcites are complex compound crystals, growing out from a central area in roughly a V pattern.
