Dogtooth & Diamond Calcite on Psilomelane & Hematite

Dogtooth & Diamond Calcite on Psilomelane & Hematite

£34.00
Description

A beautifully textured mineral specimen from Daye, Hubei Province, China, featuring well-formed dogtooth calcite crystals rising from a dark psilomelane and hematite matrix.

This piece displays multiple calcite growth points with warm iron-toned hues and scattered diamond calcite across the surface, creating natural sparkle and depth. The layered crystal structure and rich manganese-iron base give it strong visual contrast and a distinctive twin-cluster appearance.

A well-balanced cabinet specimen showcasing classic hydrothermal calcite formation from the Daye deposit.

Geological Specifications

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

Locality: Daye Mine, Hubei Province, China
Formation Type: Hydrothermal mineralisation within iron-manganese ore systems
Finish: Natural matrix specimen

Dogtooth calcite refers to sharply pointed scalenohedral crystals commonly formed in hydrothermal environments.
Diamond calcite describes clear calcite growth scattered across the specimen.
The dark matrix consists of manganese and iron oxides typical of the Daye locality.

Natural inclusions, matrix texture and colour variation are part of its geological character.
