{"product_id":"ribbon-crystalized-calcite-yunnan-china","title":"Ribbon Crystalized Calcite, Yunnan China","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA sculptural crystallized calcite from the Wenshan Mine in Yunnan, China. A frosty white stalactitic calcite curls up and over a sugary golden-tan druzy plate like a plume of frozen smoke, its serpentine form completely coated in fine sparkling crystals. The base plate is textured with soft botryoidal mounds of caramel-coloured calcite, every surface glittering under light. It displays beautifully from every angle. The arching white ribbon against the warm druzy field gives it the presence of a natural sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Wenshan zinc mine is celebrated among collectors for its blue hemimorphite, aragonite, and above all its otherworldly cave calcite formations. Pieces like this grew in open cavities where mineral-rich water dripped and flowed over long spans of time: the curving stalactitic form records the path of trickling water, later overgrown by generations of tiny calcite crystals that frosted it in sparkle, while the same fluids built the mounded druzy carpet beneath. Each formation is a one-time event; no two grow alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCalcite is known as a powerful amplifier and cleanser, associated with clearing stagnant energy and inviting calm, renewed focus. Golden and white calcite together are linked to warmth, optimism, and gentle emotional reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou will receive the exact specimen photographed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMineral: Calcite (stalactitic growth on druzy calcite plate)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: Wenshan Mine, Yunnan, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSize: approx. 5 × 3.7 × 2.3 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 370 g \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Natural, unpolished; delicate stalactitic form — handle with care\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atelier Lithic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48327136149716,"sku":null,"price":312.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9021\/0260\/files\/93C29E4F-0FF1-4D2E-ACF6-8A4ECC6DF9D3_1_105_c.jpg?v=1784427503","url":"https:\/\/www.atelierlithic.com\/products\/ribbon-crystalized-calcite-yunnan-china","provider":"Atelier Lithic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
