About this specimen

Thin ochre-yellow calcite plates project from an irregular, fairly open cluster. Several broad plates face forward, while others are seen edge-on as narrow blades. Smaller ruffled growths occupy the lower portions and surround the larger upright forms.

The spaces between the plates are an important part of the specimen: they allow the separate outlines to remain visible instead of merging into a solid mass. Pale edges and occasional lighter patches interrupt the deeper yellow-brown color. This Guangdong calcite is defined by the contrast between broad thin faces, crisp margins and finely clustered smaller growths.

Locality: Guangdong, China. Weight: 65 g (2.29 oz). Dimensions: 9.5 × 4 × 6 cm (95 × 40 × 60 mm; 3.74 × 1.57 × 2.36 in).

Weight and dimensions refer to the specimen alone, excluding the display base. Any display base shown with the specimen is included.

The specimen pictured is the individual piece offered.
