So, this Benz Calcite from the Daye Mine in Hubei Province, China. It's calcite. Clear, white, the usual calcite stuff. But then, nature decided to get a little…architectural. A pyrite triangle, perfectly perched on top. Yes, a triangle. Like, that triangle. You know the one. The one that makes you go, 'Wait, is that…?'
It's like nature was trying to design a hood ornament. Or maybe it's just a geological coincidence. Either way, it's a conversation starter. 'Oh, that? It's my Benz Calcite.' Watch the eyebrows go up.
They say calcite's calming and pyrite's grounding. I say it's a rock with a design quirk. Perfect for collectors who appreciate a bit of geological irony. Or anyone who wants to confuse their guests with a rock that looks suspiciously like it should be on a car.
Display it, ponder the triangle, or just enjoy the sheer oddity of it. This Benz Calcite specimen is a unique slice of mineral…well, whatever this is.
Key Features:
- Origin: Daye Mine, Hubei Province, China (where rocks apparently have design aspirations)
- Mineral: Calcite with Pyrite inclusion (because plain calcite is just too predictable)
- Color: Clear/White Calcite, Gold Pyrite (a minimalist masterpiece with a golden accent)
- Shape: Crystalline with a distinct triangular Pyrite formation (nature's attempt at branding, sort of)
- Measurements: 1.5" Length by 1.25" Width
- Unique: Naturally formed triangular pattern of Pyrite (a geological head-scratcher)
- Energy: Calming calcite, grounding pyrite (or just a really good talking point)
