Mineral Information
Calcite is a widely recognised mineral composed of calcium carbonate, with the chemical formula CaCO3. It belongs to the carbonate mineral group and is known for its varied crystal forms, distinctive cleavage and characteristic optical properties. Calcite crystals may develop as individual forms or as groups of intergrown crystals, creating the clustered structure represented by this specimen.
The crystal cluster format is especially appealing to collectors because it shows how mineral crystals can grow together rather than appearing as a single isolated crystal. Intergrown crystal surfaces and natural growth relationships provide useful points of interest for mineral identification, geological study and collection display.
Matlock, Derbyshire Locality
Matlock is a well-known locality in Derbyshire, an area strongly associated with limestone geology and a long history of mineral collecting. Derbyshire’s geological landscape includes extensive carbonate rocks, and the region is recognised for its varied mineral specimens and attractive geological formations. The stated locality gives this calcite specimen a clear regional connection to the mineral heritage of Derbyshire.
Display and Collecting
This calcite cluster is suitable for a dedicated mineral cabinet, educational geology display, office shelf, bookcase or home décor setting. Its natural cluster form offers visual texture and geological character without requiring a large display area. It can also make a thoughtful gift for a rock and mineral collector, geology student, science enthusiast or anyone interested in specimens connected with notable British localities.
As with all genuine mineral specimens, the crystal surfaces and natural structure are part of the individual character of the piece. The specimen is best displayed on a stable surface and handled with care so that its crystal features can be enjoyed as part of a long-term collection.
