6.1 x 5.7 x 2.1 cm. A lovely old Santa Eulalia calcite specimen, with the sharp, "jewel"-like modified rhombic crystals sitting aesthetically on a very attractively formed semi-stalactitic matrix. The calcites are sharp, well-formed and lovely to view from every angle. The largest calcite measures 1.3 cm across. From Level 16. From the collection of Senator/Dr. Miguel Romero of Teuhuacan, Mexico (Collection #8472). For more information on this important collection, use the link to this free online copy of our 2008 book on his collection: http://www.irocks.com/e-book-romero/.
