RM1415 Calcite with dolomite
La Cuerre mine (La Florida mines), Rionansa (Herrerías), Sierra de Arnero, Cantabria, SpainVery aerial calcite crystal showing the rhombohedral shape with very curious faces on edges belonging to other orders rhombohedron. Transparent to translucent, colorless and very bright. It is disposed on a matrix with dolomite. Calcite specimens from la Florida mines are known and valued worldwide. An aesthetic specimen from the Spanish mineralogy.
Size: 8.8 x 4.3 x 4.0 cm.
Main crystal: 33 x 28 mm.
RM1185 Sphalerite, Galena and Dolomite
La Cuerre mine (La Florida mines), Rionansa (Herrerías), Sierra de Arnero, Cantabria, SpainNice specimen formed by several brilliant crystals of sphalerite, with toasted honey color, accompanied by snow-white dolomite crystals and octahedral galena. It comes from a Spanish locality where it is difficult find these species combination.
Size: 7.2 x 5.6 x 3.5 cm.
RM365 Calcite with Dolomite
La Cuerre mine (La Florida mines), Rionansa (Herrerías), Sierra de Arnero, Cantabria, SpainIn this sample we have a complex twinned escalenohedron group, "doubly terminated", with combination with the rhombohedron. Transparence is excellent, with defined faces and delicate edges.
These specimens appeared accompanied by pink dolomite, at level 6 of this mine. An excellent miniature from this classic Spanish locality. Calcite specimens from la Florida mines are known and valued worldwide.
Size: 5,4 x 4,0 x 3,8 cm.
Main crystal: 47 x 17 mm.
RM557 Twinned Calcite with dolomite
La Cuerre mine (La Florida mines), Rionansa (Herrerías), Sierra de Arnero, Cantabria, SpainCalcite specimens from la Florida mines are known and valued worldwide. In this sample we have a complex twinned escalenohedron, "doubly terminated", with combination with the rhombohedron. Transparence is excellent, with defined striated faces and delicate edges. It has a delicate yellow color.
These specimens appeared accompanied by dolomite, at level 6 of this mine. A huge size and excellent specimen from this classic Spanish locality.
Size: 10,7 x 7,4 x 4,6 cm.

RM468 Calcite with dolomite
La Cuerre mine (La Florida mines), Rionansa (Herrerías), Sierra de Arnero, Asturias, SpainCalcite specimens from la Florida mines are known and valued worldwide. In this sample we have a complex twinned escalenohedron, "doubly terminated", with combination with the rhombohedron. Transparence is excellent, with defined striated faces and delicate edges. It has a delicate yellow to orange tone. In this specimen we can see, in the rear, the contact with the dolomite matrix where crystal had growth and an exfoliation, that does not affect the aesthetics of the sample.
These specimens appeared accompanied by pink dolomite, at level 6 of this mine. On one side there is a hoppered cavity in which it was disposed another group of crystals. A huge size and excellent specimen from this classic Spanish locality.
Size: 8,3 x 5,8 x 4,4 cm.
