Tri Color Calcite
Item # 24TCAL09150011
Tricolor Calcite from Durango, Mexico
Tricolor Calcite specimens from Durango, Mexico are very delicate when they come out of the ground. To keep them from crumbling into tiny pieces, they are quickly dipped in muriatic acid. The acid not only burns off some of the rough crust, but it causes the crystals to bond together so you can have a nice, solid display piece. It also gives the piece the beautiful polished appearance.
This Calcite specimen weighs 68 oz or 4.4 lb (1.99kg) and measures 6.8 x 4.8 x 3.4" (17.4 x 12.3 x 8.6 cm)
