Bold, dramatic, and richly layered — this Dali Red Banded Calcite Sphere measures 4.5" in diameter at a substantial 4.66 lbs, a piece with real presence that delivers exceptional color and natural character in every direction.
Named for the Dali area of Yunnan, China — where much of this distinctive material originates — and known in the mineral trade as "Pork Stone" for its remarkable marbled coloring, this stone tells its story in sweeping bands of deep red, warm rose, cream, and earthy brown. Each layer is a natural record of the stone's formation, creating a one-of-a-kind pattern that simply cannot be duplicated. The organic color transitions give it an almost sculptural quality, shifting beautifully depending on the light and angle. Round acrylic stand included.
