Description
This striking specimen showcases sharply defined pink dogtooth calcite crystals clustered tightly across a pale matrix, accented by subtle yet unmistakable traces of shattuckite. The calcite displays classic scalenohedral “dogtooth” form with rich saturation ranging from soft blush to deeper rose, giving the piece depth and character. Fine surface texture and natural growth patterns remain intact, emphasizing its authenticity and mineralogical integrity.
Dimensions & Weight
Collector’s Notes
Dogtooth calcite is always admired for its dramatic crystal habit, but pink examples with contrasting secondary minerals elevate a specimen into collector territory. The presence of shattuckite adds both visual interest and mineralogical intrigue without overpowering the calcite. This is a balanced, aesthetic piece that reads well from a distance and becomes increasingly compelling up close.
Highlights
Well-formed pink dogtooth (scalenohedral) calcite crystals
Rare shattuckite association
Strong color saturation with natural variation
Dense crystal coverage and pleasing overall symmetry
Excellent display specimen for cabinet or shelf
Metaphysical Properties
Pink calcite is often associated with emotional healing, compassion, and gentle grounding energy. Shattuckite is linked to intuition and clarity of communication, making this specimen popular with collectors who appreciate both visual beauty and symbolic meaning.
Mineralogy
Primary Mineral: Calcite (pink dogtooth variety)
Associated Mineral: Shattuckite
Crystal System: Trigonal
Luster: Vitreous
Habit: Scalenohedral (dogtooth)
