The Scapolite, with its rich hue, commands immediate attention, drawing the eye with its intense purple coloration. The Scapolite crystals themselves may vary in size and shape, but they typically feature well-defined crystal faces and sharp terminations that catch and refract light, enhancing the overall allure of the specimen. The purple coloration is often associated with the presence of manganese impurities, which add depth and character to the crystals. This combination of Scapolite and Calcite provides a unique and visually appealing display of contrasting colors and textures, making it a sought-after piece among mineral collectors and enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"440\" height=\"235\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; width: 141.367px; text-align: left;\"\u003eSpecimen Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365.833px;\"\u003eScapolite on Calcite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; width: 141.367px; text-align: left;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365.833px;\"\u003e173 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; width: 141.367px; text-align: left;\"\u003eDimension\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365.833px;\"\u003eH: 5.5 x W: 6.4 x D: 5.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; width: 141.367px; text-align: left;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365.833px;\"\u003eBadakhshan Province, Afghanistan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; width: 141.367px; text-align: left;\"\u003eTreatment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365.833px;\"\u003eIrradiated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCalcite Description:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan id=\"g1668252507201-117052\"\u003eCalcite is one of the most common minerals. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"g1668252543845-139331\"\u003eIt occurs in a wide variety of shapes and colors, and is a major part of the earth's rock. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"g1668252565017-178191\"\u003eCalcite belongs to the calcite group of minerals, a group of carbonates that are related to the calcite group of carbonates. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"g1668252517910-135731\"\u003eThey are similar in many physical properties, and may partially or fully replace one another, forming a solid solution series. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"g1668252574880-184174\"\u003eAll members of the calcite group crystallize in the Trigonal system, have perfect rhombohedra cleavage, and exhibit strong double refraction in transparent rhombohedrum's.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan id=\"g1668252983273-30909\"\u003eThere are twomorphous to each other, Calcite and Aragonite. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"g1668252979726-93911\"\u003eCalcite and Aragonite have different crystal structures. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"g1668252999652-3368\"\u003eCalcite and Aragonite form orthorhombic crystals. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"g1668252939510-39697\"\u003eSometimes the crystals of Calcite and Aragonite are too small to be seen by the naked eye. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"g1668253021807-34627\"\u003eMicrocrystalline forms of Calcite or Aragonite may not be the same as the real thing.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCalcite Associations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChakras\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e C\u003cspan lang=\"en\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003elear and balance the chakras\u003c\/span\u003e                            \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLuster\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVitreous, Sub-Vitreous, Resinous, Waxy, Pearly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite, Yellow, Red, Orange, Blue, Green, Brown, Gray\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZodiac\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\"\u003eCancer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCalcite Color:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\"\u003eCalcite is color less or white when pure but may be of almost any color—reddish, pink, yellow, greenish, bluish, lavender, black, or brown—owing to the presence of diverse impurities.
