Identity HelpMercedes “Benz” calcite mystery mineral
So I’ve been seeing this “Benz” calcite around and decided to get a piece. I’m sure everyone knows but it gets the name from the apparent Mercedes symbol you see in the calcite, but that’s neither here nor there. The piece I purchased has what appears to be a brown/rusty looking cube shape that the calcite has covered. I’ve asked the seller what it might be and he wasn’t sure, also asked a couple other mineral friends and they weren’t sure either. Does anyone have an idea of what the brown mineral is inside? Thanks for looking and kudos to whoever knows!!!
Hi,
The reddish-brown mineral inside your calcite is most likely to be hematite.
