Chocolate Calcite with Rare Goethite Inclusions! Big Specimen over 500 grams!

Hematite-included calcite from Hubei, China, is a striking and rare mineral combination that showcases the best of both minerals. The deep red to rust-colored hematite inclusions create stunning contrast against the typically white, translucent, or golden calcite crystals.

This particular find from Hubei is notable for its rich hematite saturation, which gives the calcite an earthy, grounding energy while maintaining the amplifying and cleansing properties calcite is known for. Hematite itself is a powerful stone for grounding, protection, and focus, while calcite enhances clarity, emotional balance, and energy flow. Together, this pairing creates a mineral that is not only visually captivating but also energetically potent.

The presence of goethite adds darker, almost smoky or blackened areas within the calcite, creating a dramatic contrast against the red-to-rusty hematite inclusions. These goethite inclusions can appear as wispy veils, dendritic patterns, or deep, inky zones, enhancing the mineral’s layered and multidimensional aesthetic.

This makes us an unusual collector's piece.
