Calcite ("rosette") included with Actinolite

Item Description

A new find in 2016 from the Huanggang Mine featuring a beautiful "rosette"-shaped "floater" group of highly compressed tabular Calcite crystals with a slight greenish hue caused by minor inclusions of Actinolite. I picked this piece up a few months ago, and seems to have been part of a limited find. The fact that the piece is essentially 100% intact is impressive as the crystals are somewhat delicate. If you're a Calcite collector or a collector of Chinese minerals, you can't miss out on this one. Who knows how many more of them will be out there, and sometimes these finds are quite limited and never found again.
