EMR87XXX: Calcite

Rhombohedral Calcite crystals, lustrous, several of them dominant and some twinned, and with the whitish colour typical of Carrara marble, from which the specimen comes. Carrara is located in the northwestern sector of the Apuan Alps, a metamorphic range where thick bodies of Apuan marble developed from Mesozoic limestones that were intensely recrystallised during Alpine tectono-metamorphic cycles. The area is famous for its exceptionally pure white marble, and in fractures, contacts and metamorphic levels one finds characteristic minerals such as well-crystallised Calcite, Quartz, Dolomite, Graphite, as well as numerous species derived from serpentinisation processes and phases associated with contact metamorphism.
