About this specimen

Illuminate your collection with this stunning UV reactive calcite crystal cluster! Originating from Hunan, China, this exquisite transparent raw mineral specimen dazzles with its vibrant fluorescence on matrix. A true gem for mineral enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Calcite is a carbonate mineral with the chemical formula CaCO3, crystallizing in the trigonal crystal system. This specimen features well-formed, transparent to translucent crystals exhibiting a vitreous luster. The crystals display a classic rhombohedral habit, resting elegantly on a contrasting matrix that enhances their visual appeal. When exposed to ultraviolet light, the cluster fluoresces a striking orange-red, a characteristic highly prized among fluorescent mineral collectors.

The locality of Hunan Province is known for producing high-quality calcite specimens with notable fluorescence, making this cluster a collectible example from a respected mineral region. With a Mohs hardness of 3, calcite requires careful handling to prevent scratches or damage, so it is best displayed in a stable environment away from abrasive materials.

This specimen's combination of transparency, fluorescence, and well-defined crystal form contributes to both its aesthetic and scientific value. It represents an excellent addition for collectors interested in fluorescent minerals or those seeking to diversify their calcite collections with a distinctive piece from China.
