About this specimen
Black as poured tar and faintly glossy, the host rock of this small piece carries a scatter of white calcite — rounded botryoidal knots about the size of a rice grain, sugary crusts between them, and a few thin bladed sprays that catch the light along the upper edge. A ginger-tan weathering rind runs around the trimmed sides, and pale veinlets thread the dark rock underneath.
The contrast carries the piece: a near-black ground with high-white calcite standing on it needs no other colour to work on a shelf. Calcite is Mohs 3 with perfect rhombohedral cleavage and will fizz in dilute acid, so keep cleaners well away. We are cataloguing this one honestly — it reached us without locality documentation and the black host mineral has not been confirmed, so it is offered as an undocumented display piece rather than a labelled locality specimen.
Dimensions are 5.0 × 4.5 × 2.5 cm with a weight of 50 g. The pictures record this exact piece, which ships loose, without a stand.
About Calcite
Calcite is a carbonate mineral prized by collectors for its exceptional color range, with several world-class Chinese localities.
