This calcite specimen comes from the Hartsteinwerke Brilon quarry in the Hochsauerland district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Pale calcite crystals sit on an older, more massive calcite base. <\/p>\n

The younger crystals form a three-dimensional group and show clearly defined crystal faces. Their color ranges from white to grayish-white. Some areas appear translucent. Depending on the lighting, the crystal surfaces show a weak to distinct vitreous luster. <\/p>\n

Measuring 8.5 \u00d7 6.0 \u00d7 4.5 cm, the piece belongs to the cabinet specimen size category.<\/p>\n

Calcite from the Brilon Mass Limestone<\/h3>\n

The Hartsteinwerke Brilon quarry is a documented mineral locality in the Sauerland region. Calcite is known from this quarry and occurs there together with other minerals in fractures and cavities within the carbonate rock. <\/p>\n

The specimen shows younger calcite crystals growing on an older calcite generation. This creates a distinctly structured surface with several freely developed crystal areas. <\/p>\n

The combination of multi-stage calcite growth, regional provenance, and typical carbonate matrix makes this piece a characteristic locality specimen from Brilon.<\/p>\n
