4.2" Red Calcite Crystals - Santa Eulalia

This is a plate of brick red calcite crystals on a bed of glimmering, druzy calcite crystals. The rich, red coloration is caused by inclusions of hematite within the calcite. It was collected from the Santa Eulalia Mining District near Chihuahua, Mexico. The entire specimen is 4.2x1.9x2" with the largest crystal measuring 1" across.
