An extremely rare and unique Calcite specimen featuring sharp, lustrous, bi-colored (white and brown-red) Calcite crystals "emerged" from a stalactitic Calcite from the world-class Daye Copper Mine of China.  This belongs to my father's private collection bought in around 1975.  The perfectly terminated crystals exhibit an attractive salmon-pink color due to Hematite inclusions and show a beautiful phantom at one end.  Calcite of this kind are basically unseen in the minerals market as they are just too rare and only a few were ever found.  The Calcite display a bright pinkish orange fluorescence under UV lighting (365nm)!  This is a top quality Calcite specimen from this famous locale.
 
The price inclusive of a high quality acrylic display box.
