About the Item
Houndstooth calcite crystals in matrix on a wood base with a hand-carved 18th century Italian molding.
Houndstooth calcite are pointed calcite crystals, often scalenohedral, that grow in clusters on a rock matrix, such as limestone or quartz, forming a beautiful contrast and visually striking specimens. These crystals have distinct, pointed terminations This rare, museum-quality natural specimen is paired with the 18th century Italian base to create an organic sculptural work of art.
