Why is it called dogtooth calcite? Look at the points. Sharp, tooth shaped calcite crystals bristle from all around this compact cluster, and each one catches the light differently.
It is nearly as tall as it is wide, so it reads as a solid little sculpture on a shelf, a desk or in a mineral cabinet. The crystals catch lamplight nicely, and the pointed habit gives it a lively, energetic look. It is a great gift for a mineral collector, a geology enthusiast or anyone who likes natural forms with some drama. This is the exact cluster shown.
The cluster is about 5 by 5.5 by 5 inches and weighs about 2.44 kilograms.
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 soft, at 3 on the Mohs scale.
Stone Meaning: Calcite is traditionally associated with energy and clarity.
