{"product_id":"natural-pyramid-calcite-specimen-scalenohedral-crystal-cluster","title":"Natural Pyramid Calcite Specimen, Scalenohedral Crystal Cluster","description":"Natural pyramid calcite specimens are available as both naturally formed crystal clusters with a pyramidal shape (known as scalenohedrons or \"dogtooth spar\") and as hand-carved, polished decorative items made from raw calcite material. Calcite is a common mineral, found worldwide, that comes in many colors. \nCharacteristics of Natural Pyramid Calcite\nFormation: Calcite is found abundantly in geological environments, often precipitating from water. Naturally occurring calcite crystals can form in various shapes, including rhombic and scalenohedral (pyramidal\/pointy) forms, often in clusters. These \"natural pyramid\" specimens refer to the intrinsic crystal structure of the mineral itself.\nAppearance: In its pure form, calcite is white or colorless, but impurities create a wide array of colors, including orange, blue, green, yellow, pink, and brown. Many specimens exhibit unique banding or translucence.\nPhysical Properties: Calcite is a relatively soft mineral, with a rating of 3 on the Mohs hardness scale. A key diagnostic property is that it will effervesce (bubble) when exposed to a dilute acid due to its carbonate composition.","brand":"Earth's Sparkles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48007870972125,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0834\/5115\/0557\/files\/ae6b419a-il_fullxfull.7428037082_s7dc.jpg?v=1780935603","url":"https:\/\/earthssparkles.com\/products\/natural-pyramid-calcite-specimen-scalenohedral-crystal-cluster","provider":"Earth's Sparkles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
