Polished Orange Calcite Cube
Mexico
3.31 x 3.15 x 3.10 inches (8.40 x 8.00 x 7.88 cm)

Carved from vivid orange Calcite, this polished cube seems almost to "glow" from within, its fiery translucence recalling the warm light of a lantern. Each face is smoothly finished, showing subtle banding and inclusions that create depth and visual intrigue. The saturated hue evokes autumn leaves and flickering candlelight, making the specimen especially suited for the season. While Calcite is a common mineral, the precision of this carving and the intensity of its color give the piece a striking presence. A perfect choice for display, this cube balances natural mineral beauty with a touch of Halloween atmosphere.

Estimate: $300 - up.
