Description

Sivec marble quarries (North Macedonia), better known for their large ruby crystals, also feature other minerals, including rutile, apple-green Na-rich muscovite (formerly thought to be margarite), purple fluorite, saddle dolomite, and silky white calcite.

The cabinet specimen presented here features an exceptional combination of calcite crystals grown on glittering, crystalline dolomitic marble. The calcite cluster connects across two fragments of snow-white marble, one of which hosts several small cubes of purple fluorite.
