Calcite with Goethite - Mexico 5" x 2" Lightning adding a touch of eleganceThis spectacular piece features Calcite infutilized with intricate Goethite. Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate. The Mohs scale of mineral hardness, based on scratch hardness comparison, defines value 3 as "calcite". How is calcite formed? Calcite can form by direct precipitation from waters rich in calcium. As concentrations increase or the amount of water decreases crystals of solid calcite crystals
