Sugar Quartz With Calcite Goethite fine quartz crystalsOne of the most common minerals on earth, Calcite is a form of Calcium Carbonate and is one of the primary components in limestone. It is found in a vast array of forms, from prismatic crystals to fibrous wisps. Calcite is clear naturally but it can be found in a variety of brilliant colors due to the presence of chemical impurities during formation. These large, showy specimens contain chunky calcite crystals of exceptional shape draped within a
