almost unmistakable for any other species

Creedite is named for the place of its initial discovery

Pure fluorite is clear

many of which feature coatings of fine

Calcite is clear naturally but it can be found in a variety of brilliant colors due to the presence of chemical impurities during formation

large calcite crystals and the dusting of fine gold from the pyrite is unique to specimens from this specific region of China and have not been found anywhere else
