Recommended Posts

i stopped into a spot on the way home from up north and found a bunch of the same which i might normally find however this time i also found something i am not familiar with... the botryoidal one.. any ideas?

found a sunflower coral not pictured as well although it is beat up not too showy

i had wrapped it and packed it up but i pulled it back out and before checking the hardness i put it in a tablespoon with a bit of vinegar and it did fizz

also the cleavage does look like calcite as well which is cool i have never found botryoidal calcite mostly dog tooth spar and massive pieces until now!

i wonder why it is in a flattened cone shape

interesting stuff thanks for the input!

looking at the pics it appears to have some other crystal as well

Hi,

 

Calcite is the mineral that gathers the most crystalline forms !
