Calcium deposits in the breast, also known as breast calcifications, typically do not dissolve on their own. However, if the deposits are causing concern, a healthcare provider may recommend further evaluation, such as additional imaging tests or a biopsy, to determine if they are benign or require treatment.

What forms when groundwater that contains dissolved minerals cools or evaporates?

Mineral deposits are formed when ground water that contains dissolved minerals are cooled or has evaporated. Some of these mineral deposits are iron ions, magnesium, and calcium.


What are calcium deposits formed by dripping water?

Calcium deposits formed by dripping water are typically known as stalactites. Stalactites are mineral formations that hang from the ceiling of caves or other underground structures, resulting from the accumulation of dissolved minerals, primarily calcium carbonate, which precipitate out of the water as it drips from the ceiling.


What is calcification of the Breast?

Breast calcifications are small areas of calcium in the breast that cannot be felt, and are only detected on a breast mammogram. They are very common and in most cases harmless. There are two types: Macro-calcifications, which are harmless and need no treatment or monitoring, and Micro-calcifications, which are usually found in an area in which cells are dividing quickly. They are usually harmless, but if found in a cluster in one area, can be a sign of pre-cancerous changes in the breast and further medical tests will be necessary.

Are calcium deposits alive?

No. Calcium deposits are not alive/ However, deposits of calcium carbonate are often made of the shells of once living, but long ded organisms.


What mineral is made from precipitation?

Calcite is a mineral that can form from precipitation, typically in the form of calcium carbonate from water containing dissolved calcium ions. It can create various geological formations like stalactites, stalagmites, and travertine deposits.


How do groundwater deposits floor of limestone cave?

The ground-water is a solution of calcium carbonate it has dissolved from the limestone above the cave. The mineral is subsequently precipitated as deposits of calcite in the cave: stalatcties & stalagmites, and flowstone on the floor and walls.

Groundwater drips through cracks in the roof and deposits limestone over time?

In a cave? Yes, almost - it's actually the calcium carbonate, the main constituent of limetsone, that is dissolved by the ground-water then precipitated as calcite to form stalactites and stalagmites, and similar deposits.
