Mineralogie » Calcite crystal shapes/morphologies

I'm currently trying to understand the impact/control of various parameters on Calcite crystal morphology. From the literature, both temperature, pressure, fluid saturation and time are clearly important paremeters.

When discussing the colour of different calcite crystals, varying colour is often explained by the presence of various trace metals. I also suspect trace metal concentration to have an impact on calcite crystal morphologies. However, I have not yet succeeded in finding any litterature that verifies this. Does anyone know of any such work that has been published?


thanks!



I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
