Formation:
Dogtooth calcite is a form of calcite (calcium carbonate, CaCO₃) characterized by its distinctive scalenohedral crystal shape, which resembles the pointed teeth of a dog.
Appearance:
These crystals often grow in clusters within open spaces like caves, geodes, or fractures in rock formations, and can vary in color, including clear, golden, white, grey, tan, brown, purple, or red, depending on impurities.
Occurrence:
While calcite is a very common mineral found in various geological settings, dogtooth calcite is specifically associated with environments allowing for the growth of these characteristic scalenohedral crystals. Notable localities include Mexico, Spain, South Africa, and parts of the USA.
