Calcite with Pyrite Crystal Cluster – Longyan, Fujian, China – 732g

A stunning and highly aesthetic calcite and pyrite mineral specimen featuring a large cluster of very softly colored pinkish white calcite crystals paired with sharply defined metallic pyrite. The calcite forms layered, blocky crystals with a delicate and very pale pink tone that gives the piece a refined and elegant appearance. (*Photos show slightly pinker than actuality, the color looks more like photo in hand & Looks white in Daylight.)

Accenting the calcite is a well-formed pyrite crystal with bright, brassy metallic luster, creating a striking contrast in both color and texture. The combination of soft pastel calcite and reflective pyrite makes this an eye-catching display specimen with strong collector appeal.

Under long-wave UV light, the calcite exhibits a bright pinkish-orange fluorescence, believed to be caused by manganese content—adding another dimension of visual interest for collectors who enjoy fluorescent minerals.

This is a large and impressive cabinet-sized specimen from a well-known Chinese locality, perfect for advanced collectors or standout display.
