This super plate of Calcite has the obvious appearance of a Dog Tooth with an amazing pattern radiating from its core. The floral form is attached to a matrix of rich, caramel color material which also contains a pair of well-formed triangular crystals. Completely natural, the mineral is free from damage and without any repairs.
