Description

La Florida mine has produced some of the best calcite in the entire Iberian peninsula, with exceptional lustre, transparency and overall quality combined with the complexity of its crystals.

This specimen comes as an elegant aggregate of colorless, lustrous, complex crystals delicately perched on pink dolomite matrix. 4 fine crystals stand out, ranging from 5 to 20 mm in length each. The faces are delicately rounded, a classic feature for this locality's specimens. 

A quite aesthetic specimen, glued on a base for a perfect display.
