About this specimen
White calcite blossoms open across this small Daye plate, each one a spray of thin translucent blades fanning out from a single anchor point. They are scattered rather than crowded, which lets the backing show: a dense brown carpet of tiny quartz crystals lining what was once an open cavity. Along the right edge the grey host rock is left bare, with one small hollow punched into it.
The order of growth is legible here — quartz first, coating the cavity wall, then calcite arriving later and building outward into the empty space. Daye is old mining country in Hubei, and its pockets turn out this pairing regularly. Calcite (CaCO3) is a Mohs 3 mineral with perfect rhombohedral cleavage and it fizzes in dilute acid, so the blades are genuinely fragile: dust them with a soft dry brush, never with anything wet or acidic.
The plate runs 4.1 × 3.6 × 2.5 cm and weighs 40 g. What you see in the images is the piece that ships, unmounted and held in hand for scale.
