Bede Fay Philadelphia Crystal and Mineral Gallery

Richly coloured orange quartz (iron coated) covered with calcite, from Guangdong, China.

Quite possibly from the Dagougu Deposit, Yingde City, Qingyuan, based on comparision pieces.

The calcite is covered with an insanely sparkley microdruze quartz and it is absolutely shimmery.

The calcite does react under UV light and where the druze is thinnest, it turn bright pink.

Measures roughly 3.25” x 2.5” (8.5 cm x 6.5 cm).
