Wonderful pair of calcite crystal cluster & red abalone on custom stands. A calcite refers to a naturally formed or artificially shaped crystal of calcite that exhibits a cubic form. Calcite typically crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system, forming rhombohedral or scalenohedral crystals. However, under certain conditions, calcite can form cubic crystals. These cubic crystals are relatively rare compared to other forms of calcite. Calcites are characterized by their geometric shape, resembling with six square faces. The edges and corners are often well-defined, creating a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing crystal. The formation of calcite can be influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and chemical composition of the surrounding environment. Calcite crystals are typically found in areas where there is enough space for crystal growth without interference from other minerals. Calcites are fascinating examples of the diversity of crystal forms that minerals can take, showcasing the natural beauty and symmetry inherent in crystalline structures. Red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) is a species of large, edible sea snail, commonly found along the Pacific coast of North America, from Baja California to Alaska.Red abalone has a distinctive oval-shaped shell with a vibrant red to pinkish-red interior, which gives it its name. They are typically found in rocky coastal areas, clinging to rocks or submerged in shallow waters up to depths of about 30 meters (100 feet).
