Calcite Crystal on matrix - Height: 162 mm - Width: 135 mm- 1230 g - (1)

This specimen is an exceptional example of Calcite from the iconic La Cuerre Mine in Spain. The piece is distinguished by the presence of several larger crystals with a modified rhombohedral habit, which display a curious transition toward nearly globular forms, highly prized for their geometric singularity.
The principal crystals, in a translucent ivory-white tone, exhibit a nacreous to vitreous luster and sit elegantly on a matrix coated by an earlier generation of drusy calcite micro-crystals. This generational overlay creates visual depth and a contrasted texture that is a hallmark of this Asturian locality.
From a collector’s point of view, the perfection of the faces of the larger crystals and their balanced arrangement on the rugged base stand out. The absence of visible damage on the main edges increases the quality of the specimen.
