Known by the trade name "chocolate dogtooth calcite," this type of calcite from the famed Santa Eulalia mining district grows in hedgehog clusters of sharp dogtooth (scalenohedral) crystals. The variety gets its distinctive opaque brown appearance from iron oxides; a layer of hematite-included calcite is deposited on the surface during a later phase of growth.

Broken crystals reveal the first phase of growth had some translucency with yellow-brown zoning in the interior. Calcite has perfect cleavage so it is common to have a point or two that has cleaved off, leaving a flat smooth window displaying this growth.

This specimen shows signs of natural etching that has left the tip of many of the dogtooth crystals blunted or hollow. Very small crystals often dot the surface of the calcite. A lot of the specimen is covered with a flaky thin off-white mineral overgrowth, which may by calcite. Tiny points of quartz often spot these specimens; this piece has a disc-like botryoidal quartz formation on one calcite crystal, with two small quartz points growing off it.

UV reactivity: the presence of iron dampens any reaction in the brown calcite, which is non-reactive. This piece has limited reaction.

Very useful
Color: Black
I’ve been using this room divider to separate my space from my daughter’s, and it has worked out really well. It provides just the right amount of privacy while still keeping the room feeling open and comfortable. The design is simple yet stylish, so it blends nicely with our decor. It’s also lightweight and easy to move when needed, which is a big plus. The material feels durable and well-made, not flimsy at all. Overall, it’s a practical and attractive solution for shared spaces, and I’m very happy with this purchase. I would definitely recommend it to others.
