Why It’s Special

  • Hematite phantoms - Translucent red calcite with visible hematite colouring
  • Bright chalcopyrite within the crystal pockets
  • Natural iridescence from oxidation
  • Sourced from Dayao County (Yunnan Province), a region highly sought after by collectors for producing deep red, hematite-included calcites with stark, high-contrast metallic sulfide backings.
