Carbonate Specimens for Sale - Collector Quality Specimens
Carbonate minerals are defined by the carbonate ion (CO₃) bonded to metals, and they are major rock-formers in limestones and dolostones. They commonly precipitate from seawater, form in caves, or grow in hydrothermal veins. Typical species include calcite, dolomite and malachite. Many fizz in acid and display good cleavage.
