Pink Calcite Hunan, China Calcite derives its name from chalix the Greek word for lime, referring to its typical coloration. It is a common mineral in that about 4% by weight of the Earth’s crust is formed of calcite in many different geological environments. It is however, unusual to see it with this lovely delicate pink hue and with the present “pagoda-like” scalendrohedral crystal growth. A highly decorative example. Measuring 10 x 7 x 5in
