Calcite - Sweetwater Mine, Reynolds Co, Missouri, USA

This impressive calcite specimen comes from the well-known Sweetwater Mine in the US state of Missouri - a mine that has been known for decades for its exceptionally clear and richly shaped calcite crystals. The piece presented here combines classic occurrence with aesthetic sophistication and impresses with its crystals on a high-contrast matrix.

Crystal structure - clarity and form in perfect harmony

The calcite shows itself in beautifully formed, prismatic crystals with sharply defined surfaces and a finely saturated, yellowish hue. Several crystals grow parallel and slightly offset on the dark matrix, creating an exciting yet harmonious overall picture. The interplay between smooth crystal surfaces and the grainy matrix gives the piece depth and texture.

Color & play of light - Warm tones with a lively character

The calcite crystals have a pleasantly warm, slightly honey-colored nuance that varies between soft yellow and transparent beige, depending on the incidence of light. The clarity of the crystals allows a glimpse inside, where the light refracts in a fascinating way and creates a subtle glow.

CNC-milled base - presentation at the highest level

The piece comes with a custom-made acrylic base that has been precisely milled and perfectly matches the shape of the step. This high-quality presentation method emphasizes the aesthetics of the calcite and makes the piece a real showpiece - ideal for display cases or exhibitions.
