About this specimen
Two amber blades rise from a single base in a shallow V, like a pair of wings caught mid-open. Each blade is banded down its length with fine growth steps, so the edges look serrated and the surfaces hold light in horizontal rungs. Colour deepens from near-colourless at the join to warm gold at the tips, and both blades are translucent enough to glow when lit from behind.
Calcite twins readily, and paired crystals sharing one contact plane are a recurring signature of the Daye deposits in Hubei. The stepped faces record incremental growth, each rung a small pause in the supply of carbonate. Do not forget the softness: Mohs 3, cleavage in three directions, and thin blades like these chip more easily than any other calcite habit. Give it a shelf where nothing can fall against it.
The pair spans 3.6 × 1.8 × 3.6 cm and weighs just 20 g, set on a clear acrylic display cube. No two of these grow alike; the images show this one, on its cube.
