A pseudomorph is one mineral replacing another while retaining the shape of the first mineral. In this case a couple of possibilities are calcite pseudomorphs after ikaite, from Russia, or siderite pseudomorphs after calcite, from Mexico. A clearer question will result in a more specific answer.

What is the hardness of calcite on the MOHS hardness scale?

No one seems to know how hard scandium is on the mohs hardness scale (believe me i looked everywhere and they all say N/A) but i did manage to find it's hardness on the Brinell hardness scale. On the Brinell hardness scale it is 750 MPa. If you find how hard it is on the mohs scale please revise my awnser to also include that.


What is the difference between calcite and limestone?

I think you have it confused, dolomite and limestones are not the same thing:Limestone is composed of calcite or calcium carbonate, CaCO3, and dolostone is composed of dolomite or calcium magnesium carbonate, Ca,Mg(CO3).Okla gave the chemical formula for ankerite, which is in the dolomite group.In the field dolostone and limestone are difficult to tell apart (but there crystals are fairly diagnostic)...one way is to drop some HCl on them. Limestone will fizz (effervesce) and dolostone will not...UNLESS it is powdered...then it will fizz.Source(s):Manual of Mineralogy (after J.D. Dana), 19th ed., 1977, Hurlbut and Klein.Now it can happen and find them both combined in what it's called Dolomitic limestone, which is more or less 50/50 mixture of calcite and dolomite minerals.as for carboniferous limestone, limestone is a very abundant formation, it's not exclusive to one era or one location and it can be very variant from one place to another, you have to be more specific about where this carboniferous limestone is located!


What happens when hydrochloric acid is placed on calcite?

It effervesces vigorously. [effervesces means to fizz or bubble] It reacts with strong acids, releasing carbon dioxide: CaCO3(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Where would you find stalagmites stalagmites?

In caves formed in limestone - as are most of the world's caves although not all such caves contain stalagmites and stalactites. They are precipitations of calcite dissolved from the host limestone by carbonic acid - rain water acidified by atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolved in it.


Where in caves do you find calcite?

Calcite can be found in cave formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstones. These formations are created when calcium-rich water drips or flows through the cave, leaving deposits of calcite behind as it evaporates.
