Description
Two well-formed scalenohedral Calcite crystals form a V-like configuration, with several further Calcite crystals in inter-grown association. At the specimen's base, a crystallized botryoidal aggregate of deep rich green Malachite has formed, with a sparkling crystallised velvety surface. Crystals of Calcite are selectively coated on some faces by slightly tinted pale sky blue Chrysocolla, with areas of light brown Goethite. The two dominant Calcite crystals measure 8 and 7 cm tall respectively and are tinted delicate pink. This stunning cabinet specimen is from the famous Mashamba West mine in the Kolwezi mining district of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Calcite Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
