Dogtooth Calcite Crystal Cluster - One of a Kind Specimen, 7 Inch

The sharp, pointed crystals across this cluster's face are what give dogtooth calcite its name.

Those pointed shapes are a natural crystal form called a scalenohedron, and they catch light along every edge, which gives the cluster a crisp, dramatic look on a shelf or in a cabinet. At about 7 inches wide and 1.6 kilograms, it is a solid display piece for a mineral collection, an office or a bookshelf. It is a great choice for collectors who want a classic calcite form, and a thoughtful gift for a geology fan. Calcite is soft, so the care note below explains how to keep the points crisp. This is the exact cluster shown.

The cluster is about 7 by 6 by 2.5 inches and weighs about 1.61 kilograms.

About Dogtooth Calcite

Dogtooth spar is calcite that forms sharp, pointed scalenohedral crystals, named for their resemblance to dog teeth. It grows in caves, veins, fractures and geodes. Calcite is calcium carbonate and soft, 3 on the Mohs scale.

Stone Meaning: Calcite is traditionally associated with clarity and renewal.
