This exceptional calcite specimen displays bold, geometric crystal forms highlighted by vivid hematite phantoms suspended within the crystal structure. In natural light, the calcite presents warm honey, amber, and creamy tones, with sharply defined phantom zoning that records distinct stages of crystal growth. The hematite inclusions appear as layered internal silhouettes, creating striking depth and visual movement within each crystal face.
Under ultraviolet light, the specimen undergoes a dramatic transformation. The calcite fluoresces with intense pink and yellow tones, sharply contrasting against the darker phantom inclusions and revealing hidden structural details not visible in daylight. This dual presentation makes the specimen especially compelling, offering two distinctly different viewing experiences.
Measurement: 2.75” x 2.75” x 1.75”
Weight: 140g
Phantom calcite specimens are highly regarded for their visual presentation of growth history within the crystal itself. The presence of hematite phantoms adds both rarity and visual complexity, while strong UV reactivity further elevates collector appeal. This piece is ideal for collectors who value mineralogical storytelling, fluorescence, and strong crystal form in a single specimen.
Well-defined calcite crystals with internal hematite phantoms
Distinct growth zoning visible throughout the specimen
Strong fluorescence under ultraviolet light
Dramatic contrast between natural light and UV presentation
One-of-a-kind collector mineral specimen
Calcite is often associated with amplification, clarity, and energetic cleansing. Hematite is traditionally linked to grounding and stability. Together, this combination is thought to support focus and balance while encouraging awareness of personal growth cycles—mirroring the layered phantom formations within the crystal.
Calcite: Calcium carbonate mineral forming sharp, angular crystals
Hematite: Iron oxide forming internal phantom inclusions
