Tonglushan Mine, ChinaThis locality produces a wide range of collectible items from common under $100 starter rocks to large flawless pieces worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Missouri, USAMissouri has some epic calcite specimens and when we say epic we mean it - the Sweetwater Mine dragonscale calcites are straight out of a fantasy book and are almost unicorn level rare given they only come from one mine. Missouri also has Brushy Creek mine which produces very showy chalcopyrite-covered calcite specimens. See calcite from Missouri, USA
