Dogtooth & Diamond Calcite with Psilomelane & Hematite

Dogtooth & Diamond Calcite with Psilomelane & Hematite

£24.00
Description

This striking mineral specimen from Daye, Hubei Province, China features sharply formed dogtooth calcite crystals rising in layered formation from a rich psilomelane and hematite matrix.

Translucent diamond calcite crystals add dimension and clarity to the structure, while warm iron and manganese tones create depth within the base. The sculptural growth habit gives this piece strong visual presence from multiple angles, making it an eye-catching collector display specimen.

A beautiful, well-formed example of hydrothermal calcite mineralisation.

Geological Specifications

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

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

Natural matrix texture, colour zoning and crystal formation are part of its geological integrity.

Metaphysical Properties

Calcite is traditionally associated with:
