Calcite

Calcite "fingers," 10 cm, found around 2010 near the town of Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, China. These specimens are often mislabeled as coming from "Nanjing in Hunan" or in Guangxi Province, both false localities that were invented at the time to protect the origin source. Beth Van Allen photo.
