Description
A warm and translucent Honey Calcite sphere with beautiful honey-coloured bands - this 854-gram Wunderkammer mineral radiates a soft, almost silky glow. Its natural layering gives a special visual play when you spin it.
The sphere displays the classic characteristics of high-quality Honey Calcite: clear band patterns, soft apricot tones, natural growth lines and light transparency. The small open cavities and crystalline structures are authentic calcite features that highlight its mineralogical beauty.
Origin & meaning
Bought at De Zwaan auction house, from Lot 460 of the Christie's South Kensington auction Style & Spirit (25 September 2007). Historically valued as an interior stone for its warm colour and soft light reflection, Honey Calcite fits perfectly into a classic Wunderkammer presentation.
