Daye in Hubei Province is part of the historic Daye mining district, where mineral extraction has exposed skarn and hydrothermal zones capable of producing well-crystallized specimens. Crystal-bearing cavities within the district have yielded quartz, calcite, fluorapophyllite, pyrite, and other secondary minerals, with the Fengjiashan Mine particularly noted for collectible quartz and associated species.
This specimen is a bed of lustrous lenticular calcite crystals overgrowing scalenohedral crystals! A gentle coloring of hematite accents the gleaming calcites. Perfect example!
