A highly aesthetic cabinet specimen featuring beautifully developed scalenohedral calcite crystals, perfectly double-terminated and free of damage. The crystals are sharply defined, with elegant, elongated geometry and excellent luster.
What makes this piece particularly distinctive is the presence of fluorescent components running through the calcite. Under UV light, these inclusions create localized zones of coloration within the crystals, while the terminations display a noticeably stronger reaction and glow with impressive intensity. The effect is both unusual and visually striking, adding a dynamic character that is only fully revealed under ultraviolet illumination.
An intriguing and characterful calcite specimen from Hunan, China — equally compelling in daylight and under UV.
