Mercedes Calcite (Chalcopyrite on Calcite) - Specimen lithium a microcrystalline form of quartzMined from: Daye Mine, Huangshi, Hubei Province, China Description: This specimen displays the distinctive Mercedes habit of calcite, where multiple tabular crystals intersect at sharp, geometric angles, forming a star like arrangement. The crystals are pale, semi translucent, and well defined, with clean faces that highlight internal growth zoning. What sets this piece apart are the bold black linear inclusions running through the crystal facesthese
