Calcite

Mineral # 271 Available

Calcite on natrolite and tetranatrolite from the De Mix Quarry, Mont St. Hilaire, Quebec, Canada. This 5 mm crystal was self-collected in 1973, in the days when faced with an impossible crystal form at St. Hilaire, we used to say, 'it must be calcite' — well, this crystal that appears to be essentially an octahedron modified by a dodecahedron, has been verified by XRD. Minor biotite as an accessory.

This thumbnail specimen measures about 15 mm x 12 mm x 14 mm.

Calcite # 271 – Price: $US 20.
