About this specimen

A pale yellow calcite rosette with translucent, bladed petals sits on top of a base of brown siderite and dolomite rhombs, with a little white aragonite-like fuzz and brassy pyrite grains in the gaps. Five species in a thumbnail.

Guizhou carbonate pockets give combinations like this; the contrast between the glassy yellow calcite and the matte brown siderite makes it easy to read even at small size.

At 4.3 × 3.2 × 2.5 cm (1.69 × 1.26 × 0.98 in) and 35 g (1.2 oz) it is a miniature specimen that fits a miniature cabinet or a desk display. What you see in the photos is the piece you receive; any known repair, mount or treatment is disclosed above.

Carbonate: never clean with acid or vinegar.
