This extraordinary calcite with a micro-quartz coating on an iridescent quartz (anandalite) matrix is a rare, museum-grade find from Jalgaon, Maharashtra, India. The piece showcases large, sharply defined tabular calcite rhombohedrons completely coated in a shimmering layer of sparkling, millimeter-sized druzy quartz crystals, elevated gracefully atop a matrix of iridescent quartz, commercially known as anandalite.
Under direct light, the sparkling druzy jacket highlights the crisp geometry of the underlying calcite, while the anandalite base displays delicate, rainbow-like flashes across its natural crystal terminations. Formed over millions of years through secondary hydrothermal silica pulses within ancient basalt cavities, this pristine, untouched specimen exhibits outstanding height, 3D relief, and rare mineral aesthetics.
