Calcite with Pyrite, Chalcopyrite, Goethite & Limonite – Daye Mine, China

A fascinating multi-mineral specimen from the renowned Daye Mine in Hubei Province, China.

This piece features layered calcite formations accompanied by pyrite, chalcopyrite, goethite, and limonite. Its contrasting cream, gray, brown, and subtle metallic tones reveal new textures and details from every angle.

Under ultraviolet light, portions of the specimen display a beautiful pink-to-red fluorescent response. After the UV light is switched off, the specimen also produces a brief phosphorescent afterglow, making its transformation even more fascinating.
