Dimensions: 5.7 × 4.5 × 2.7 cm (2.24 × 1.77 × 1.06 in); longest edge 57 mm (2.24 in).

White bladed calcite from Yaogangxian opens into a remarkably balanced butterfly shape measuring about 5.7 × 4.5 cm. Two broad wings extend from a compact center, with layered petal calcite and sharper tabular crystals creating depth along each side. Opposite views show the three-dimensional symmetry, clean white color and free-standing natural base of this unusual formation.

Approximate maximum dimensions: 5.7 × 4.5 × 2.7 cm / 57 × 45 × 27 mm / 2.24 × 1.77 × 1.06 inch, estimated from the two-axis measurement. Estimated weight: 65 g / 2.29 oz, calculated from the bounding volume.
