Incredible Sculptural Calcite on Quartz with Bright Hematite

Weight: 1268 g
Dimensions: 6 × 4 × 3.7 inches
Locality: Artigas, Uruguay 🇺🇾 

This incredibly unusual specimen from Uruguay features sparkling white quartz with delicate, dramatic layered calcite crusts coated in vivid orange hematite. The calcite rises outward in sculptural, shelf-like formations, creating an incredible three-dimensional display with exceptional contrast against the bright quartz crystals below.

The rich orange hematite coating gives the calcite a fiery appearance, while the surrounding quartz adds brilliant sparkle from every angle. An eye-catching and uncommon piece with outstanding texture, color, and natural architecture. This would be a worthy top-shelf addition to any collection!
