Stalactite Crystal Formation with Calcite - One of a Kind, 7 Inch

Slow mineral growth over a very long time created this stalactite formation, with calcite crystals adding sparkle to its organic, flowing textures.

It is a true natural history piece, well suited to a collector's cabinet, a study or a modern shelf where its sculptural shape can be appreciated. Every curve and crystal pocket is one of a kind, and side lighting brings out its texture beautifully. It makes a memorable gift for a mineral collector, a scientist or anyone who loves the wonders of caves and geodes. This is the exact formation shown.

The formation is about 7 by 4.25 by 6 inches and weighs about 1.22 kilograms, a satisfying, substantial size for a shelf.

About Stalactites

Stalactites form as mineral rich water drips and deposits layer after layer, building downward over long periods. Calcite, a soft calcium carbonate mineral, often crystallizes on their surfaces.
