Calcite Flower

Discovered in a small pocket of the Qinglong Mine (Dachang Mine) in Guizhou, China are some uncommon and brilliant Calcite Flowers.

These calcite have crystallized into very small rhombohedral and are usually colourless to a very pale yellow and translucent at the top. They are translucent or white when free of impurities but vary between yellow, green, pink, red, orange and brown when impurities are present.
