Raw Calcite Mineral Specimen, 1" - Geologist Selected Samples - Eisco Labs

• CALCITE | Calcite is made up of calcium carbonate. It can grow into rocks, animal shells, chalk, & translucent, rhombic minerals
• GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Being one of just a few minerals that is effervesce in acid, Calcite is great for demonstrating chemical reactions. This universally useful mineral can also be used to demonstrate mineral hardness, light refraction and cleavage
• GEOLOGIST SELECTED | Each specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
• LOCALLY PROCESSED | Our rock and mineral samples are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed in Victor, NY
• INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED & LABELED | Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification

Raw Calcite Specimen
Single Sample, 1"

Calcite is made up of calcium carbonate. It can grow into rocks, animal shells, chalk, & translucent, rhombic minerals. Being one of just a few minerals that is effervesce in acid, Calcite is great for demonstrating chemical reactions. This universally useful mineral can also be used to demonstrate mineral hardness, light refraction and cleavage.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.

Selected & Processed by a Geologist.
Each and every specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Rocks and minerals are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed by hand in Victor, NY.
