A classic combination of soft pink danburite with calcite from Charcas in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. This classic locale produces the finest danburites in the world – often with wonderful gemminess and contrasting golden calcite. This is a uniquely structured specimen with one large opaque crystal and multiple gemmy off shooting crystals. Very cool!

Calcite from Charcas, Mexico
Charcas calcite is one of the great immediately recognizable Mexican calcite styles: flattened, sharply hexagonal rhombohedra stacked like a pile of white-to-gray poker chips, often with satiny or pearly broad faces and glassier edge faces. Good examples have a sculptural, almost architectural quality — single fat disks, stepped stacks, V-shaped clusters, columnar growths, or matrix-free “floaters” that seem too deliberate to be accidental. The classic palette is colorless, white, cream, gray, slightly smoky, and occasionally pinkish; many specimens show a pink to red fluorescence that is part of the locality’s appeal for UV collectors.
