#MinCup24 rhodochrosite vs calcite

Got to be calcite: a great mineral - it can grow igneously, sedimentarily, metamorphically, or biologically; it's a wonderful recorder of processes and time 🤓 , it has unmatched diversity and beauty of crystal forms AND it can do pink even better than rhodochrosite!🤩

You can browse endless pages of calcite crystal forms 🤩 🥰 here:
