Polished Orange Calcite with Biotite Pyramids x 2 From Madagascar

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Orange Calcite With Biotite Spots!

Orange calcite with biotite from Madagascar is a notable mineral specimen characterized by its distinct coloration and composition. Orange calcite is a carbonate mineral (CaCO₃) that typically forms in sedimentary environments. Its vibrant orange hue results from trace impurities and the specific conditions under which it crystallizes.

Biotite, on the other hand, is a phyllosilicate mineral belonging to the mica group, composed primarily of potassium, magnesium, and iron. It typically appears as dark brown to black sheets, adding contrast to the lighter orange calcite. 

This is a unique combination that we are eager to share with you, and it certainly adds a bit of flavour to any collection!
