Calcite and Dolomite: Carbonate minerals mill machine


We all know that, use CLIRIK calcite carbonate mill machine, mineral mill can process calcite, dolomite, limestone, chalk, mica etc. more than 100 kinds of minerals. And do you know how to differentiate the similar carbonate minerals: calcite and dolomite?
Calcite and dolomite are very similar minerals. Both have the same hardness (H = 3), the same rhombohedra cleavage, and are found in identical geologic settings.
Calcite is a very common mineral in many different geologic settings; it makes up most limestone and marble, and it forms most cave stone formations like stalactites. Often calcite is the gangue mineral or worthless part, of ore rocks. But clear pieces like this "Iceland spar" specimen are less common. Iceland spar is named after classic occurrences in Iceland, where fine calcite specimens can be found as big as your head.
The introduction of calcite ore, calcite mineral:
This exceptionally clear calcite is known as Iceland spar. It is an excellent example of the rhombohedral cleavage of calcite (three cleavage planes, none at right angles). Also, it shows how you can see double vision when you look through 2 of 3 sides of a calcite rhomb.
Like many minerals, calcite comes in a variety of colors. Although each of these pieces forms a rhombohedron.
If you find a big block of whitish mineral and want to know if it is calcite, look where it has broken. Several rhombohedra corners poking out. Look for the non-90° angles between the cleavage planes!
It is highly unusual to find biotite and calcite together.
