About this specimen
Yellow Calcite crystals from the renowned Daye Mine in Huangshi, Hubei, China, are a remarkable addition to any collection. Their lustrous appearance and vibrant color make them highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike. Discover the beauty and allure of these stunning natural formations.
Calcite crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system and is known for its relatively moderate hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale. This specimen exhibits a bright yellow hue, with well-formed, transparent to translucent crystals that reflect light with a vitreous to pearly luster. The chemical formula CaCO3 defines calcite’s composition, a common yet versatile carbonate mineral.
The Daye Mine, located in Hubei Province, China, is well-regarded for producing high-quality calcite specimens characterized by their clarity and color intensity. This particular piece weighs over 1400 grams and showcases the classic crystal habits typical of the locality, making it a meaningful example for collectors interested in Chinese minerals or regional geology.
Its combination of color, crystal form, and provenance contributes to its collector value, especially for those seeking display-worthy specimens with a distinctive presence. When handling calcite, it is important to avoid exposure to acids or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface. Additionally, due to its relative softness, caution should be exercised to prevent scratches.
