This calcite specimen comes from the Jalgaon district in the Indian state of Maharashtra. A distinctly developed gray calcite crystal sits protected within a depression in the darker basaltic matrix. <\/p>\n

The crystal shows clearly recognizable faces and a gray to grayish-white coloration. Some areas are translucent. Depending on the lighting, the crystal surfaces show a weak to distinct vitreous luster. The pale to gray calcite contrasts with the darker matrix. <\/p>\n

Measuring 6.0 \u00d7 5.0 \u00d7 4.0 cm, the piece belongs to the small cabinet specimen size category. The stated weight of 95.8 g includes the plastic display base. <\/p>\n

Calcite from the Deccan Traps of Maharashtra<\/h3>\n

The Jalgaon district is one of India\u2019s well-known source regions for calcite, zeolites, and other secondary minerals. The area lies within the Deccan Traps, an extensive sequence of basaltic lava flows. <\/p>\n

As the basalts cooled, numerous gas bubbles and cavities remained within the rock. Mineral-bearing fluids later circulated through these open spaces. Calcite and other minerals were deposited on the cavity walls. <\/p>\n

The combination of a distinctly developed calcite crystal, basaltic matrix, and documented provenance makes this piece a characteristic mineral specimen from Maharashtra.<\/p>\n
