About this specimen
One steep amber crystal dominates: a calcite scalenohedron the colour of strong tea, translucent enough that light pools inside it and its faces smooth apart from a faint dusting of iron oxide. Up the left flank climbs a staircase of small salmon-pink calcites, each a stubby stepped crystal only a few millimetres across, with cream-white calcite filling in behind them.
Colour in calcite is almost always a trace-element story: iron and manganese present in tiny amounts are enough to carry it from water-clear to honey, amber or pink, and both shades are on show here in one piece. Calcite is soft at Mohs 3, cleaves perfectly in three directions and dissolves in even weak acid, so keep household cleaners and vinegar well away from it.
The specimen is 5.6 × 5.1 × 4.6 cm and weighs 115 g, sitting steadily on its natural base with no stand supplied. Photographed exactly as it stands, this calcite is the one that will be sent.
