Calcite Included By Hematite (Twinned)
Description
Aesthetically perched on an ocherous matrix are hematite-included crystals of equant, twinned calcite, to 3 cm across. The crystals are lustrous, partially translucent, and exhibit a rich brownish red coloration. Very pretty! This particular material tends to form flat plates, and a piece like this is hard to obtain for its aesthetics. from old finds here in the 1970s
