Ignore the nails. Just a note to myself.
G thinks it's Yellow Calcite. She's probably right but I'll definitely forget if I don't write this down.
Or if you disagree with my friend, lmk what you think this is :)
A closer look at this botryoidal yellow calcite from Daye, Hubei. Most calcite specimens collectors see grow as sharp scalenohedral crystals — the "Mercedes-head" form is probably the most familiar. But calcite can also grow like this: as rounded clusters of hundreds of tiny crystals fused together into spheres on a darker host matrix. The pale yellow-green color and gentle translucency come from the small individual crystal size and the host showing through. Daye is in central China, primarily a copper-iron skarn district. The calcite associated with these deposits has its own quiet character — softer color than Sichuan or Hunan calcites, less sharp than the classic Mercedes-head form, but with a kind of natural-history-cabinet feeling that I find appealing. Specimen from My Mineral Box.

Calcite Correspondences & Associations
To help break up all of the plant posts, I've written up this one on calcite, its corresponences/associations, and the various other colors included.
Calcite is a carbonate mineral that you shouldn't put in sunlight, salt, acid, or water (the later three of which will break it down or dissolve it).

SPECIFIC COLORS
Calcite comes in several different colors, and while researching these, I discovered that several of them are literally the exact same color just under different names and I spiraled downward from there.
