About this specimen

Two rich yellow calcite balls, one large and one small, sit on a flat dark grey matrix with three smaller pale calcite spheres beside them; the balls is described as soft-centred, with a lighter core under the yellow skin.

Zhejiang botryoidal calcite in the egg-yolk colour is the most distinctive version of the form; a thumbnail plate that stands flat.

It measures 5.3 × 3.4 × 1.4 cm (2.09 × 1.34 × 0.55 in) and weighs 24 g (0.8 oz), a small cabinet-sized piece that displays well on a shelf or in a cabinet. Sold exactly as photographed; any known repair, mount, treatment or condition note is disclosed in this listing.

Carbonate: never clean with acid or vinegar.
