NLD-84JMonohydrocalcite CaCO3·H2O

Piesky adit, Piesky, Špania Dolina deposit, Špania Dolina, Banská Bystrica District, Banská Bystrica Region, Slovakia

Dimensions: 70 mm x 50 mm x 30 mm
Largest Crystal Size: 12 mm

Interesting specimen of monohydrocalcite collected in 2016 in Špania Dolina deposit. The sample is mainly formed into stalactites in which are crystalized aggregates. Maximum length of stalactites is 22 mm.

Maximum size of crystals on the samples found at this locality is up to 40 mm! which are the largest xls of MHC in the world. Also interesting is the green colour of monohydrocalcites from Špania Dolina that is caused by content of copper (up to 0.01 apfu). Identified in Slovak Academy of Sciences using WDS, RTG difraction and Raman analysis.
