About this specimen
A 1.45-kilogram bouquet of straw-gold calcite from the Daye mining district in Huangshi, Hubei — stout, glassy crystals stacked shoulder to shoulder, thin white calcite blades slicing between them, and a glittering grey-green sulfide matrix beneath. The color sits between honey and olive and warms noticeably under incandescent light.
Daye’s skarn pockets produce calcite with unusual body and luster, and the species’ perfect cleavage makes undamaged multi-crystal clusters at this weight a packing miracle — this one arrived whole and displays from every side.
It measures 11.9 × 9.9 × 9.9 cm. The photographs show the exact specimen you will receive.
