Calcite next to reddish quartz - Marienschacht, Bavaria

This elegant mineral specimen comes from the Marienschacht in Bavaria - a site known for its fine crystalline and colorful combinations. It combines two aesthetically outstanding minerals to form an impressive specimen.

Transparent calcite - crystal clear and multi-layered

Two well-proportioned calcite crystals dominate the specimen with their clear to slightly translucent appearance. The crystals have a precise, natural formation with smooth surfaces that reflect the light beautifully and show off the calcite in all its purity. This transparency gives the piece depth and an almost crystal-optical lightness.

Red quartz - contrast to the clarity

The calcite crystals are set alongside finely formed red quartz crystals, whose intense coloration lends the piece a harmonious color composition. The quartz shows a uniform crystal structure, the play of colors of which stems from the iron content of the site - a typical characteristic of quartz from the Marienschacht.

Aesthetic interplay - natural balance

The interplay of clear calcite and intensely colored quartz creates a lively contrast that is both visually and mineralogically impressive. The positioning of the calcite crystals on the quartz matrix creates a balanced effect and gives the piece a calm, almost sculptural appearance.

A balanced and aesthetically sophisticated collector's piece with character - ideal for lovers of mineral combinations in which clarity and color complement each other in perfect harmony. An enrichment for any collection of high-quality German minerals.
