Zebra Calcite Moon on Stand

This 2.32-pound Zebra Calcite Moon showcases the striking, rhythmic banded patterns often referred to as "Zebra Onyx." Standing at a total height of 12.75 inches on its sleek black metal stand, the moon itself measures 8 inches tall and 6.5 inches from point to point. Its polished, crescent-shaped surface highlights the natural, undulating layers of cream, gold, and charcoal gray, making it an exceptional centerpiece for collectors. This piece offers a captivating visual experience, emphasizing the mineral’s unique sedimentary formation and bold texture. Zebra Calcite is primarily sourced from Mexico. It is a unique combination of Calcium Carbonate (Calcite) and Aragonite. The distinct "zebra" banding is formed through a process of mineral deposition over millions of years, where different mineral inclusions create the contrasting light and dark layers.
