All of the following specimens are CALCITES from Ametista do Sul, Brazil.

  
#CE11  $50.00

 

 

Bright red fluorescent Calcite surrounding a clear hexagonal Calcite crystal. The hexagonal crystal does not fluoresce, but shows the red fluorescence of the Calcite behind it. The entire specimen measures 2¾ x 2¼ x 1" with the hexagonal crystal measuring 2 x 3/8 x ¼". The tapered Calcite and the hexagonal crystal before it end at the same height. Regular light images are the side and top views. There is also an incomplete hexagonal crystal in the upper left portion of the specimen.

#CH153   $22.00

CALCITE
Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul,
Brazil

 

 

Unlike other Calcite crystals from Brazil, this 2.25 x 2.5 x 1.75" specimen consists of a few transparent Calcites with an almost melted appearance. The crystals are naturally terminated and in very good condition. The main crystal measure 1.75 x 0.5 x 0.5" and it's muted appearance can be better seen in the enlargements. Under SW UV, the Calcite fluoresces red, but with a transparent crystal, the color only seems to be located on the edges and the corners of the crystals.

  TWIN CALCITE

#CE14  $35.00

 

 

A rather small specimen, 1¼ x 1¼ x¾" that consists of numerous small, bright red fluorescing Calcite, with almost all of the "thick" needle variety except for one tabular crystal and one fluorescent Twin crystal. This twin measures ¾ x ½ x ¼" and is placed toward the top of the specimen and is in perfect condition.

#CE18  RESERVED

 

 

 

An elongated, very bright red fluorescing Calcite crystal, doubly terminated and measuring 2 x 1 x 1", sits on top and around other similarly fluorescing Calcite crystals. The entire specimen measures 3¼ x 2¾ x 1¾".
