Calcite Tower with Pyrite Inclusions – Daye Mine, Hubei

SKU · ne005

This specimen weighs 10g (0.35oz) and measures approximately 1.2 × 0.9 × 0.9 inches. It features a remarkably well-formed tower-like structure of calcite from the famous Daye mining district in Hubei, China. This is an old stock specimen, no longer sourced from current production. Its unique layered habit resembles a snow-covered tree, giving it excellent visual interest and display value.
What makes this piece particularly intriguing are the subtle pyrite inclusions nestled within the pale yellow calcite crystals—an uncommon combination from this locale. The calcite has a pearly to vitreous luster and forms tight stacks of scalenohedral growths, creating a beautiful natural sculpture from every angle.
Daye is historically known for producing high-quality calcite specimens, but the mine has significantly reduced its output in recent years, making old pieces like this one increasingly difficult to acquire.
This piece is ideal for collectors seeking unique calcite habits, Chinese locality specimens, or well-preserved old stock material. It also serves as an excellent accent in a mineral display cabinet or crystal shelf.
