This formation is created by the natural growth of the calcite crystals and is typical for finds from certain Chinese mines such as the Daye Mine. Each piece shows this pattern in its own way, which is why no Mercedes Calcite is like another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhat is calcite mineralogically and how hard is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eCalcite is a carbonate mineral (calcium carbonate) with a Mohs hardness of only 3 – accordingly, it should be handled with care. The chalcopyrite inclusions consist of copper iron sulfide and have a similarly low hardness of about 3.5 to 4. Together they form the characteristic striped pattern that is so clearly visible in this find from Hubei.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I properly care for my Mercedes Calcite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eDue to its low Mohs hardness of 3, you should keep the stone as dry as possible – preferably only dust it carefully with a soft cloth. Water, vinegar, or other acids can damage the surface, as calcite reacts to them. You should also avoid direct, prolonged sunlight so that the fine color tones do not fade. Energetically, you charge it most gently by smudging it or by placing it on a clear quartz cluster for a few hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow can I tell that the chalcopyrite stripes are real?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eReal chalcopyrite shows a metallic, brass-like luster and often fine, irregular transitions that are naturally grown into the calcite structure – no evenly applied layer. Depending on the light and slight oxidation, iridescent tarnish colors in blue and purple tones can also occur, which is why the mineral is also known as peacock ore. On this piece, the stripes are untreated and show exactly this natural play of colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant more? 👉 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.happy-minerals.com\/search?q=calcit\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\" title=\"Buy Calcite at Happy Minerals\"\u003eDiscover all Calcite at Happy Minerals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive exactly this Mercedes Calcite from the photo, with all its individual stripes and shapes.
