This specimen was published on the Mineralogical Record´s web page, in the ‘What's New’ section, report 46, April 14, 2017 edition.
Lishui Prefecture, Zhejiang Province  China (2009)

Main crystal size: 3.3 × 2.8 cm = 1.30” × 1.10”

TA71AF1: Floater aggregate of crystals that have a thick tabular shape, with clear and very bright prismatic faces, with inclusions, and a greatly flattened terminal rhombohedron, transparent in the interior and whitish and translucent on their borders. We especially note the unusual morphology of the crystals and, typical for this locality, the curious “mossy” inclusions of, very probably, iron oxides.

TA90AM8: Lenticular Calcite crystal formed by a very thin prism and an extraordinarily flattened, translucent, lustrous white rhombohedron with concentric geometric zoning. Larger than the usual size for specimens from this locality.

Specimen size: 10.2 × 6 × 3 cm = 4.02” × 2.36” × 1.18”

ERH97XXX: Group of cubic Fluorite crystals, very well defined, lustrous and translucent, showing a deep and uniform yellow color. The crystals are set on a matrix composed of fine lamellar aggregates of Manganoeudialyite, arranged in rosettes and displaying delicate pinkish tones. The presence of Manganoeudialyite — a rare cyclosilicate known from only a few localities worldwide — adds special interest and rarity to the specimen.

The piece comes from the Tanghekou Mine, located in the village of Tanghekou, in the northern part of the mountainous Huairou District, within the municipality of Beijing. This area belongs to the Yanshan Fold Belt, on the margin of the North China Craton, a geological province of predominantly Mesozoic age characterized by strong tectonic activity, granitic intrusions, and extensive fracture systems that favored the circulation of hydrothermal fluids and the formation of exceptional mineral assemblages.
Tanghekou Mine, Tanghekou, Huairou District, Beijing  China

Specimen size: 5.3 × 4.7 × 3.1 cm = 2.09” × 1.85” × 1.22”

Main crystal size: 2.5 × 2.0 cm = 0.98” × 0.79”

EF47AK9: Curious recrystallization and replacement of a fossil sponge by microcrystals of Calcite, granular in appearance, but lustrous and pale cream in color. The specimen, as frequently happens with novelties from China, comes from an unspecified locality.

Specimen size: 6 × 4 × 4.6 cm = 2.36” × 1.57” × 1.81”

TM61Y7: Very well defined botryoidal, almost spheroidal, growths of grayish black Goethite with transparent Calcite crystals, with small cubic Pyrite crystals, and on matrix. The Goethite has been analyzed and we’ll send a copy of the analysis to the buyer. We regret we can not provide more precise details about the locality but, as frequently happens with Chinese material, the origin remains unknown.
