About this specimen

A whole plate paved with smoky grey calcite, and almost every crystal on it wears a crust of black hematite that glitters like crushed coal. Between the dark patches that coating thins to brick-red and salmon, while the calcite underneath shifts from near-colourless to storm-grey depending on how heavily it is overgrown. At 14 cm across, the plate fills a hand.

Both colours are the same mineral. Hematite, Fe2O3, crystallises as black metallic plates but powders and coats as red ochre, which is why every hematite leaves a red-brown streak no matter how black it looks. The calcite host is Mohs 3 and cleaves in three directions, so support the plate from below rather than gripping its crystal tips.

Measuring 14.0 × 11.4 × 5.1 cm at 785 g, it is displayed loose, without a base. Photographs throughout show this exact plate.
