Premium Dogtooth & Diamond Calcite with Psilomelane & Hematite

£46.00
Description

An exceptional, high-impact mineral specimen from Daye, Hubei Province, China.

This sculptural cluster features sharply defined dogtooth calcite crystals rising in layered formation over a rich psilomelane and hematite matrix. Prominent diamond calcite crystals add clarity and dimension, catching the light beautifully across multiple crystal faces.

The contrast between translucent calcite and the dark manganese-rich base creates dramatic visual depth, making this a standout display piece for collectors or cabinet presentation.

A substantial and well-formed example of hydrothermal calcite mineralisation from one of China’s most recognised mineral localities.
Geological Specifications

Minerals:
• Dogtooth Calcite (scalenohedral crystal habit)
• Diamond Calcite (clear to translucent rhombohedral calcite)
• Psilomelane (manganese oxide)
• Hematite (iron oxide)

Locality: Daye Mine, Hubei Province, China
Formation: Hydrothermal mineralisation within iron-manganese ore deposits
Finish: Natural specimen cluster

Dogtooth calcite refers to sharply pointed scalenohedral crystal forms.
Diamond calcite describes clear, well-formed calcite crystals with strong light reflection.
Psilomelane and hematite provide the dark matrix typical of Daye deposits.

Natural variations in colour, matrix texture and crystal formation are part of the specimen’s geological character.
Metaphysical Properties

Calcite is traditionally associated with:
• Energy amplification
• Mental clarity
• Motivation and forward movement

Hematite is linked with:
• Grounding
• Stability
• Protective qualities

Manganese-rich minerals such as psilomelane are often associated with:
• Strength
• Endurance
• Deep-rooted grounding energy

Metaphysical properties are shared for spiritual interest and are not medical advice.
