Geological Specifications

Mineral Scalenohedral (Dogtooth) Calcite with Hematite
Origin: China

This specimen features scalenohedral calcite, commonly known as dogtooth calcite, coated with a natural layer of hematite.

The piece shows multiple stages of growth, with larger calcite crystals forming the structure and a layer of fine druzy calcite crystals adding sparkle across the surface.

A dark hematite coating partially covers the crystals, creating a striking contrast between the bright calcite and the deep grey to black tones.

This combination forms when iron-rich mineral solutions deposit over existing calcite during crystal growth.

Each piece is unique in coverage, texture and crystal structure.
