Antimonite deposits are not rare in China,but we seldom find any quality calcite yielded in antimonite deposit in the mineral market.This calcite specimen comes from Lengshuijiang of Hunan Province,a city renowned as“World Antimonite Capital”.The specimen presents a large and complete crystal with the color of gold.The main crystal growing on top of the dark grey colored matrix stands out with a number of smaller crystals on its back and a few stibnite crystals in between.The unique combination of gold calcite and stibnite is internationally renowned for its distinctive geographical features and rarity as a collection of mineral specimen.
