3.5 kg Rose Petal Calcite from Hunan Province
Description
This substantial rose petal calcite specimen features layered, bladed calcite crystals that fan outward in a natural, sculptural formation. The soft blush-white tone and satin luster give the piece a calm, refined presence, while the overlapping “petal” structure adds depth and movement from every angle.
Sourced from Hunan Province, known for producing some of the finest petal calcite in the world, this piece balances delicacy with weight and scale. The crystal habit creates an almost floral geometry that feels both organic and architectural.
Calcite is traditionally associated with clarity, amplification, and energetic flow. Petal or bladed formations are often viewed as symbols of expansion and openness, with energy thought to move gently outward rather than sharply radiate. In a piece of this scale, the formation is often associated with creating a calm, balanced atmosphere, making it well suited for living spaces, studios, or areas intended for rest and reflection.

Note
All crystals and ceramic works offered by Atelier Lithic are inherently unique. Variations in size, colour, surface texture, and form are natural and should be expected.
Crystals are natural materials formed in the earth and may include surface irregularities such as natural fissures, internal veils, growth marks, contact points from where the crystal was attached to the host rock, or areas where the specimen was mined or extracted. These features are part of the crystal’s natural formation and are not considered defects. Defects are disclosed within the item description.
For crystals:
- When a listing includes numbered options (for example, 001, 002, etc.), each number corresponds to a specific crystal shown in the photos. Selecting a number means you will receive that exact crystal.
- When a crystal is shown as a group or range and sold as a quantity of one without numbered options, the images represent examples of what is available. You will receive one crystal, selected from the group, with natural variation.
For ceramics:
- All ceramic pieces are one of a kind. Unless otherwise stated, you will receive the exact piece shown in the listing photos.
