About this specimen
Two calcite habits share one small plate here. Left and centre, milk-white crystals pile up in blunt chunky blocks with softly stepped faces; to the right, a fan of thin parallel blades lies packed together like the leaves of a closed book. Dark grey granular matrix shows through the gaps, and the white picks up a faint warm blush wherever the light rakes across it.
Calcite is CaCO3 and one of the great shape-shifters of mineralogy: the same chemistry yields blocks, blades, scalenohedra and rhombs depending on temperature and fluid chemistry, which is how a single mine can send out several habits from adjacent pockets. It is also soft — Mohs 3, with perfect cleavage in three directions. Lift it by the base, keep it clear of vinegar or any acid vapour, and never put it near an ultrasonic cleaner.
Measuring 4.8 × 3.6 × 2.5 cm at 51 g, it is fixed to a clear acrylic block. Photographed exactly as it will arrive, block and all.
