Texture is the whole point of natural calcite druzy, and this orange and red piece pairs calcite growth with the textured stone it formed on.
The calcite growths on top and the natural stone underneath give two textures in one piece, so it rewards a close look under a lamp or in a window. The warm color likely comes from iron inclusions, and it sits well with wood, terracotta and desert inspired decor. At about 5.4 inches long and 825 grams, it is a comfortable size for a desk, a bookshelf or a collection shelf. It makes a thoughtful gift for a collector, a rock hound or anyone who likes warm colored stones. This is the exact formation shown.
The formation is about 5.4 by 4.25 by 2.9 inches and weighs about 0.825 kilograms.
