Rhombohedral feature of Calcite

3D ModelNoAI

Locality: N/A

Size: 5.5 x 4 x 3 cm

Formula: CaCO3

Description: This polymorph of calcium carbonate perfectly depicts the calcite crystal in its natural rhombic form, with a milky white appearance. Calcite is one of the most widespread minerals. It manifests in numerous shapes (i.e., combinations of more than 1000 crystal forms) and colors, comprising a significant component of many rocks. The most common forms as rhombohedral and scalenohedral crystals.
