Wuzhou, Guangxi, China

description:
An unusual and attractive specimen consisting of a double terminated loose complete all around crystal of calcite, this of gem quality with interesting inclusions throughout. In super condition.

Wuzhou, located in Guangxi, China, has a recorded history spanning over 2200 years, having been initially established as Cangwu City in 183 BC during the Western Han Dynasty and later officially named Wuzhou in 621 AD during the Tang Dynasty, with neither settlement experiencing a permanent historical closure. Geologically, the region features complex tectonic structures characterized by extensive sedimentary and carbonate rock formations shaped by river convergence, which frequently host deposits of common rock-forming minerals like calcite in hydrothermal veins and limestone karst settings.
