This visually arresting specimen features sharply formed calcite crystals arranged in a dense, sculptural cluster, accented by delicate celestite growths nestled between crystal terminations. In natural light, the calcite displays soft champagne to smoky gray tones with clean, angular faces that catch and reflect light beautifully. The celestite adds a subtle contrast, introducing a cooler blue, airy presence within the composition.
When viewed under ultraviolet light, the specimen reveals a dramatic transformation. The calcite fluoresces with pale yellow-green hues, illuminating the crystal field and emphasizing the sharp geometry of the formation. This striking duality—subtle and refined in daylight, electric under UV—makes the piece especially engaging for both display and study.
Measurement: 3.25” x 2.5” x 1.5”
Weight: 200g
Calcite specimens with associated celestite are valued for their contrasting mineral habits and shared sedimentary origins. The added UV reactivity elevates this piece beyond a standard calcite cluster, offering collectors both aesthetic appeal and interactive geology. An excellent choice for collectors who appreciate specimens with multiple modes of presentation and science.
Well-defined dog tooth calcite crystals
Associated celestite growths
Strong fluorescence under ultraviolet light
Excellent color and contrast
One-of-a-kind mineral specimen
Calcite is often associated with amplification, clarity, and energetic movement, while celestite is traditionally linked to calm and gentle awareness. Together, this pairing is thought to create a soothing yet clarifying energetic presence, balancing structure with softness.
Calcite: Calcium carbonate forming sharply faceted crystals
Celestite: Strontium sulfate with a pale, ethereal appearance
Fluorescence: Calcite fluoresces blue to violet under UV light
