Calcite Mineral Specimen #3

Calcite specimens are widely sought by collectors for their remarkable variety of crystal habits and colors, unusual size, affordability, excellent crystal development, and, in composite specimens, interesting associations with many other minerals.

It is usually white or colorless, but impurities create a wide range of pale colors.  Calcite develops in many mineralogical environments, including pegmatites, carbonatites, chemical and sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, and hydrothermal veins.

Calcite or calcium carbonate, the most abundant carbonate mineral, crystallizes in the hexagonal system (trigonal subsystem), often as rhombohedrons and with a wide range of crystal habits and colors.
