A find from The Hidden Bazaar
Calcite Crystal Cluster with Metallic Matrix - Nevada - 2.0 oz
$59.95
Natural calcite crystal cluster from Nevada, USA, featuring a dense grouping of translucent to milky white crystals across a dark metallic-rich matrix. The specimen shows strong geometric crystal faces, layered growth, and striking contrast between the pale calcite and darker host material.
Weight: 2.0 oz (approx. 56.7 g)
Locality: Nevada, USA
Likely Mineral ID: Calcite crystal cluster on metallic-rich matrix
Approximate Geological Age: 150–200 million years, based on provided provenance/geologic context; the specimen itself has not been individually laboratory dated.
Geologic Setting: Likely hydrothermal or replacement-style mineralization associated with Mesozoic mineral systems in Nevada.
Condition: Natural field specimen with multiple visible crystal faces and terminations, plus natural contacts, minor edge wear, and matrix inclusions as shown.
Rarity Index: 6/10
The appeal of this specimen is the sharp contrast between its pale translucent crystals and the dark metallic matrix. Several crystals show attractive stepped faces and partial transparency, giving the piece strong display character from multiple angles.
Collector Note: The dark metallic material is visually suggestive of an iron- or sulfide-bearing mineral phase, but the exact associated mineral cannot be confirmed from photographs alone and is therefore not represented as a definitive species in this listing.
Metaphysical traditions: Calcite is commonly associated with clarity, renewal, energy movement, and emotional balance. These are spiritual and cultural beliefs, not scientifically established mineral properties.
