Calcite Crystals - Height: 185 mm - Width: 135 mm- 1893 g - (1)
This attractive specimen comes from the renowned locality of Chenzhou, which is well known among collectors for its aesthetic and high-quality calcites.
It is a striking example of the mineral calcite, composed of robust honey-yellow to golden crystals that elegantly rise from a finely crystalline, light-colored matrix. The crystals are well-formed, in places tabular to prismatic, with a high luster and partial transparency that enhances their depth.
A major highlight of this piece is the presence of so-called “phantoms” – internal growth zones that create delicate, rainbow-like shimmering structures within the crystals. These optical effects give the specimen a unique visual character and make it highly attractive not only to collectors but also for decorative purposes.
The contrast between the crystalline matrix and the prominent honey-colored crystals creates a harmonious composition that appears both natural and highly aesthetic. The surface is richly covered with small crystals, adding sparkle and texture to the overall piece.
