Description

This is a large, impressive calcite from China! This style has been nicknamed “Benz Calcite” as the pyrite inclusions along the edges of the calcite crystals form the sign of the famous automotive company, mercedez-benz. For such a large piece, the condition is good, with some areas of damage that do not harm the overall appeal of the specimen. It has good luster and clarity for the crystal size too. From my personal collection of Chinese minerals.
