Pink Quartz with Feather and Petal Calcite, Specularite, Inner Mongolia, China
Pink Quartz with Feather and Petal Calcite, Specularite, Inner Mongolia, China
Description
This is a dramatic statement piece, anchored by long, elongated pink quartz points sweeping outward in a wing-like, fanned arrangement. The quartz is richly dressed in soft pink-tan petal and feather calcite, forming dense, bladed clusters along the crystal edges and bases, while dark, metallic-grey specularite forms sparkling druzy patches across the surface, its mirror-like flecks catching the light beautifully against the softer pink and cream tones. The combination of sharp, elongated quartz, delicate calcite texture, and glinting specularite gives the piece real depth and visual complexity from every angle, mounted on its included stand.
This combination of pink quartz, calcite, and specularite is a hallmark of the Huanggang Mine in Hexigten Banner (Keshiketeng County), Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China. It's a locality that has become legendary among collectors in recent years for producing exceptional multi-mineral specimens with striking colour and formation.
Metaphysically, pink quartz is associated with gentle, loving energy, traditionally regarded as a softer, more subtle cousin to rose quartz, linked to compassion and emotional healing. Specularite (specular hematite) is traditionally associated with grounding and protection, believed to help absorb negative energy while encouraging confidence and strength. Calcite is associated with amplifying and cleansing energy, supporting emotional balance and fresh starts.

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.
