Item Description
An attractive and unique, Calcite specimen from a find at the Daye Mine in China from 2006. Dozens of nearly colorless and very gemmy compressed scalenohedra of Calcite which are included by red Hematite cover the underlying matrix. The piece is very displayable with the predominant 2.1 cm Calcite crystal in the center showing well from several sides. Beautiful crystallization, color and form, and very little damage all the way around.
