Argentinian Blue Calcite Freestanding Tear Carving Aquatine Onyx

Introducing this stunning Argentinian Blue Calcite Freestanding Tear Carving Aquatine Onyx, a piece that beautifully showcases the exceptional color and quality of Argentinian material. This unique sculpture is crafted from premium-grade Blue Calcite, sometimes referred to in the trade as Aquatine or Blue Onyx, names reflecting its beautiful, flowing layers and captivating depth of color. The stone is characterized by its soft, serene hues, ranging from pale sky blue to deeper, banded azure, a visual quality that makes it highly sought after for both collectors and interior decorators.

This particular Blue Calcite Freestanding Tear Carving has been meticulously shaped and highly polished by master lapidary artists to an organic, elegant tear or drop shape. The form is designed to maximize the stone's natural translucency and highlight the intricate internal patterns and geological banding. Crucially, the base of the piece has been precisely cut and flattened, allowing it to stand perfectly upright on its own without the need for a separate display stand or mount, making it an ideal accent for any shelf, table, or desk.

As a variety of the common mineral calcium carbonate, Calcite is naturally a soft stone, and the high-polish finish on this Blue Calcite Freestanding Tear Carving demonstrates exceptional care in craftsmanship. This specific piece, sourced from Argentina, represents the finest quality of its type, combining a visually appealing material with superior sculptural form.
