Dogtooth & Diamond Calcite with Psilomelane & Hematite

Dogtooth & Diamond Calcite with Psilomelane & Hematite

£42.00
Description

A substantial and beautifully formed mineral specimen from Daye, Hubei Province, China.

This piece features layered dogtooth calcite crystals with well-developed points rising from a dark psilomelane and hematite matrix. The calcite displays warm iron-toned hues and translucent diamond calcite growth across the surface, creating depth and natural contrast.

The dense crystal coverage and rich manganese-iron base give this specimen strong cabinet presence while maintaining the characteristic structure associated with Daye material.

An excellent display piece for collectors who appreciate classic hydrothermal calcite formations.

Geological Specifications

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

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

Dogtooth calcite refers to sharply pointed scalenohedral crystal forms.
Diamond calcite describes clear, reflective calcite growth across the surface.
The dark matrix consists primarily of manganese and iron oxides typical of the Daye deposit.

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