Large Calcite Stalactite Cluster Cut Base - One of a Kind

Stalactites grow drip by drip from cave ceilings, and this large calcite piece shows that slow work as a full cluster formation on a cut base.

It is a big, two handed piece, as the photos make clear, with a flat cut base that lets it sit upright on a console, a bookcase or an office credenza. The natural calcite formation covers the top, so the texture changes as you walk around it. It suits someone who wants a genuine cave formation rather than a polished shape, and it gives a mineral shelf a different look from the usual quartz and amethyst.

About Calcite Stalactites

Stalactites form as mineral rich water drips from a cave ceiling, leaving calcite behind layer after layer when dissolved carbon dioxide escapes. Most cave formations are calcium carbonate, and they grow very slowly. Calcite itself is soft, 3 on the Mohs scale, and fizzes in acid.

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