Product Details

A stunning large cabinet specimen featuring lush, snow-white calcite crystals perched over a matrix rich with metallic galena. In natural light, the calcite displays soft pink and white tones with layered, petal-like crystal growth that gives the entire piece a beautiful, flowing texture. Under UV light, this piece erupts into a vivid, fiery red-orange fluorescence, a signature trait of calcite from the famous Daye mining district. The glow is intense, saturated, and eye-catching—making this a perfect display specimen for collectors who love dramatic fluorescence. The contrast between the delicate calcite and the darker galena adds depth and character, giving the piece a balanced, high-impact presence. ⸻ ✨ Details • Mineral: Calcite with Galena • Weight: 3 lbs 1 oz • Locality: Daye Mine, Hubei Province, China • Fluorescence: Strong red–orange under UV • Crystal Habit: Layered / petal-like scalenohedral clusters • Matrix: Galena-rich sulfide base • Quality: Large, showy, high
