Xianghualing, China
This elegant trio of Manganoan Calcite showcases delicate, bladed crystal growth in soft blush tones. The pink colour is created by trace amounts of manganese substituting into the calcite structure during formation, giving the mineral its signature warmth.
Formed in hydrothermal veins, mineral-rich fluids slowly crystallised within open cavities, allowing the calcite to develop in layered, fibrous formations. The result is a silky, almost feathered texture that catches light across each surface.
Substantial in scale and harmonious as a group, these three pieces balance softness with presence, sculptural, luminous, and refined.
Priced as a set. Individual prices listed below:
Left: 240 × 240 × 170 mm | 12.05 kg | $3,600
Middle: 180 × 170 × 140 mm | 5.25 kg | $2,100
Right: 280 × 210 × 160 mm | 11.5 kg | $3,200
