Green Banded Calcite
Geological Information
Banded green calcite is a form of calcium carbonate that is typically found in sedimentary rocks.
It is often associated with other minerals, such as quartz, pyrite, and fluorite.
The characteristic banding in banded green calcite is caused by the presence of different impurities in the mineral.
These impurities can include iron, magnesium, and other elements that create distinct layers of color within the calcite.
