Pink Calcite Crystals on Matrix
A spectacular cluster of pink calcite crystals on rock matrix from South Africa.
Calcite is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth. Due to various impurities, it occurs in a wide variety of colours.
The shells of many sea organisms are formed from calcite, which helps balance the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the oceans.
Organisms use calcium to create solid crystals of calcium carbonate which is the material their shells are made of. Without calcite, many would not exist.
Calcite is the most common form of calcium carbonate and the main constituent of limestone.
This cluster of pink calcite crystals is a unique and beautiful piece you'll love having in your collection.
