Rhombohedral golden calcite crystal nestled in a pocket in dolostone matrix. Gorgeous specimen from a classic Michigan locality. Calcite is renowned for its diverse crystal forms and vibrant colors, ranging from colorless to brilliant shades. This captivating mineral often forms in sedimentary rocks through the precipitation of calcium-rich waters. As these waters evaporate over time, stunning calcite crystals are left behind. Michigan calcite is particularly prized, typically found in limestone and dolostone quarries beneath many layers of bedrock.
