Strong phantom crystals preserve visible outlines of an earlier growth stage within the later crystal. This piece has been acid-polished for better clarity. Calcite is widely used in construction materials, abrasives, soil amendments, and pharmaceuticals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Atlas Mountains form a vast range extending about 2,400 km across Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, with the High, Middle, Anti-, Saharan, and Tell Atlas among its principal divisions. Geologically, the region is an Atlas orogenic belt of folded mountain ranges, intermontane basins, and complex carbonate and clastic rocks shaped by rifting, inversion, uplift, folding, and faulting. Collectors especially associate the range with Moroccan fluorite from El Hammam Mine and mineral localities across the High and Middle Atlas, making Atlas Mountain specimens representative of a broad and geologically varied North African province.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Castle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49849136840859,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0336\/3012\/6217\/files\/1ba533ba-ebca-4625-a7a1-5bf414ff6a46_34988612-7920-448a-9fd1-4d7db29acdd0.jpg?v=1792357772","url":"https:\/\/www.overtonfamilyjewels.com\/products\/auction-win-96c7c80d-6fa4-4018-bb39-c5dd465d6eb5","provider":"OFJ's Crystal Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
