About this specimen
Stout calcite crystals overlap across this Daye plate like slabs of ice shoved up on a riverbank, each one ending in a sharp chisel-edged termination rather than a point. The colour shifts as you turn it: frosted milk-white on the left, then smoky and nearly water-clear through the largest crystal, where internal growth lines show as fine parallel strokes. Along the lower rim runs a seam of honey-orange crystals and dark grains that warms the whole underside.
Calcite (CaCO3) is soft at Mohs 3 and splits cleanly in three directions, so it wants a shelf rather than a pocket. The Daye orefield in Hubei is a skarn system, and its calcites carry enough trace manganese that a pink to red response under shortwave ultraviolet is common — worth testing with a lamp of your own before you promise anyone a show.
The plate measures 14.0 × 6.4 × 5.1 cm and weighs 445 g, heavy enough to sit unaided on a shelf. No base is supplied; every photograph here was taken of this plate and no other.
