Calcite on Fluorite Specimen - Height: 27 cm - Width: 19 cm- 6.36 kg - (1)

Large specimen of Calcite on a Fluorite matrix from Balochistan, Pakistan, characterized by very rich and three‑dimensional growth.
The surface is completely covered by well‑developed calcite crystals, with scalenohedric habit and a very delicate gray‑green shade, semitransparent along the edges and more milky in the central parts. The terminations present a particular natural texture slightly satin, which gives the crystals a soft appearance and diffuses light evenly.

Among the main crystals there are numerous second‑generation crystals visible, distributed sparsely on the surface, testimony to successive growth phases of the specimen. In some areas there are also calcite crystals with a more tabular and translucent habit, which further enrich the morphological variety of the whole.

The Fluorite matrix clearly outcrops at several points of the specimen, where the characteristic cubic crystals are easily visible, creating a pleasant contrast with the calcite and contributing to the mineralogical interest of the sample. The matrix remains partially visible along the edges and on the back, further enhancing the natural structure of the specimen.

The specimen is overall well preserved. There are some natural traces of iron oxides and light residual encrustations, not removed, which attest to the origin of the sample without compromising its aesthetics. The large size, the remarkable crystal coverage, and the presence of different generations of growth make this a specimen of great visual impact, suitable for both collection and display.
