- Mineral: Calcite crystal cluster on matrix
- Weight: 10.6 oz (300 g)
- Locality: Virginia City, Nevada
- Approximate geological age: 10–15 million years old
- Condition: Natural, unpolished collector specimen
Geology: Calcite can crystallize from calcium-rich fluids in fractures and cavities, building intergrown translucent crystal forms as mineral-bearing water cools and deposits dissolved calcium carbonate. The supplied 10–15 million-year estimate corresponds to the mineralizing geological context of this Virginia City material.
Care: Calcite is relatively soft (Mohs 3). Handle gently, avoid impacts, acids, ultrasonic cleaners and household chemicals. Dust only with a soft dry brush.
Metaphysical note: In spiritual traditions, calcite is associated with clarity, grounded focus and motivation. These are beliefs only and are not scientific or medical claims.
