Brown Calcite Pseudomorph After Fluorite (with Dogtooth Calcite Overgrowth) – #414

$95.00

Description

A striking and uncommon specimen featuring calcite pseudomorphs after fluorite, where the original cubic fluorite crystals have been completely replaced by calcite while retaining their geometric form. Over time, additional dogtooth calcite (scalenohedral calcite) overgrew the faces, creating a dramatic hybrid of cubic and pointed crystal habits.

The result is a dense cluster of sharp, brown-to-rust calcite points emerging from blocky pseudocubic structures — a signature look for Moroccan pseudomorph deposits. The surfaces show a matte-to-slightly-sparkly texture, characteristic of full mineral replacement.

This is a highly collectible formation that beautifully displays the geological process of pseudomorphism.

Weight: 7.8 oz
Size: Approx. 3.5 in x 3 in
Origin: Morocco (likely Mibladen or Taouz region)
Mineral Family: Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃)
Crystal Habit: Calcite scalenohedrons over pseudocubic fluorite replacements

Energetic Properties

Pseudomorphs hold the energetic story of transformation — one mineral becoming another while retaining its original form. This piece blends the grounding stability of calcite with the geometric memory of fluorite.

This piece is especially supportive for:

  • Personal transformation and inner restructuring

  • Releasing outdated patterns while retaining core wisdom

  • Strengthening emotional stability

  • Encouraging adaptability and resilience

  • Integrating past experiences into new growth

An excellent stone for therapists, healers, and anyone moving through a major life transition.
