Dogtooth Calcite with Psilomelane, Hematite & Diamond Calcite

Dogtooth Calcite with Psilomelane, Hematite & Diamond Calcite

£18.00
Description

This striking mineral specimen from Daye, Hubei Province, China features sharp dogtooth calcite crystals emerging from a dark psilomelane and hematite matrix, accented with pale pink diamond calcite points.

The contrast between the deep manganese-rich base and the translucent calcite formations creates strong visual depth and texture. The diamond calcite crystals add definition and sparkle, giving this piece layered mineral interest from multiple angles.

A beautiful collector specimen with natural formation and raw geological character.

Geological Specifications

Minerals: Dogtooth Calcite (scalenohedral habit), Diamond Calcite, Psilomelane (manganese oxide), Hematite
Locality: Daye, Hubei Province, China
Formation: Hydrothermal mineralisation within iron and manganese ore deposits
Finish: Natural specimen

Dogtooth calcite refers to the sharply pointed scalenohedral crystal habit typical of calcite formed in hydrothermal environments. Diamond calcite describes clear to translucent rhombohedral calcite crystals. Psilomelane is a manganese oxide mineral commonly associated with hematite in ore-rich zones.

Natural matrix texture and crystal growth patterns are part of its geological integrity.
