A beautiful and highly distinctive association of minerals from a new find at Tres Marias mine, West Camp, Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico. Large cabinet in size, a dramatic cluster of large sharply formed scalenohedral Calcite crystals (some doubly-terminated) is 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 crystals reach over 6.5 cm in length.
