Polished Calcite Cube
Mexico
2.12 x 2.06 x 2.02 inches (5.38 x 5.23 x 5.14 cm)

Carved out of fiery orange Calcite, this geometric cube displays exceptional translucency and warm, saturated hues. Each face has been expertly polished to a high luster, revealing delicate banding and swirling internal inclusions characteristic of this striking mineral. The rich coloration and crystal clarity imbue the piece with a luminous, almost blistering presence. Both aesthetically refined and mineralogically distinctive, this cube, with a maximum width of 2.12 inches (5.38 cm), offers visual appeal as a decorative accent piece or simply as a colorful example.

Estimate: $300 - up.
