Mineral: | Calcite | |
Location: | Tonglushan Mine, Daye Co., Hubei Province, China | |
Size: | 6.7 x 5.7 x 4.0 cm | |
Nice cluster of sharp calcite crystals from Daye, China. The salmon-coloured core zone of each crystal gives the rest of the colourless crystal zones a nice tint. In excellent condition - no damage at all to the two main crystals. Soeme cleaved tips on smaller ones - clean and not distracing. The large crystal on the right measures 4.6 cm - it is a good single crystal with no twinning. The large crystal on the left shows twinning - visible in the third photograph - neat to have a featured twinned and untwinned crystal side-by-side on the same specimen like this.
