Calcite "butterfly twins" with Hematite
Leiping Mine, Leiping, GuiyangCo., Chenzhou Prefecture
Hunan Province, China
4.3 x 3.2 x 2.7 CM (miniature)
price: $280


A juxtaposed pair of "butterfly" twin Calcites with bright faces, fine clarity and red Hematite phantoms. From the last mining at Leiping, these are excellent examples from this locality. These twins made big news in the mineral world when found in 2002, partly because they looked so much like the classic British twins from over a century ago. Sharp. clean and elegant these are modern classics that look like the vintage old world classics.
