Honey Calcite Sphere

Calcite is found all over the world in a variety of forms and colors, often in combination with other minerals. The more common forms of calcite are orange, blue, green, and yellow. Islandic spar is a clear double refractive variety that forms natural rhomboids. Mangano calcite is a rare pink variety, with high quality specimens from Peru displaying pink and white banding. Black Calcite, also known as Shamanite, is another rare variety. Interestingly, calcite and aragonite are identical in chemical makeup, but crystalize differently to give us different crystals.
