About Rhombohedral CarbonateHide

Formula:
(Ca/Mg/Fe/Mn etc)CO3
The term 'Rhombohedral Carbonate' is often used by collectors, geologists and mineralogists for unanalysed simple anhydrous carbonates with a rhombohedral structure, within the calcite group or dolomite group.

It usually refers to calcium, magnesium and iron carbonates, such as calcite, dolomite, magnesite, ankerite and siderite.
