White calcite on dark matrix – Sasbach am Kaiserstuhl, Germany

This aesthetically appealing specimen comes from Sasbach am Kaiserstuhl, a geologically remarkable region in southwestern Germany known for its volcanic rocks and mineralogical features.

 

Spherical crystal formation – natural design

The calcite exhibits a rare spherical growth form, also known as “globular.” This unusual crystal shape is the result of slow growth under constant conditions and gives the piece its distinctive organic structure. The fine surface of the calcite spheres appears almost velvety, creating an elegant, natural overall appearance.

Color contrast and aesthetics

The pure white of the calcite contrasts beautifully with the dark matrix on which it has grown. This color scheme highlights the spherical structures particularly clearly and emphasizes the visual depth of the piece. The contrast makes this specimen a real eye-catcher.

 

Rare origin – regional specialty

Steps from Sasbach am Kaiserstuhl are relatively rare on the collectors' market. The combination of geologically interesting volcanic rock and aesthetic calcite makes this piece not only a beautiful collector's item, but also a geologically exciting document of its origin.

 

An extraordinary collector's item that impresses with its shape, color, and origin in equal measure. Ideal for collectors looking for something special – or as a stylish accent in any mineral exhibition.
