Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 I have a Glendonite pseudomorph after Calcite. It means that the crystal started as a calcite crystal and after time the calcite was replaced by glendonite, but retained the shape of the original crystal.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 I'm not exactly sure, but from memory, the original substance becomes unstable and is replaced by the other. I remembered wrong with my pseudomorph. Glendonite is a calcite pseudomorph after Ikaite. Sorry for the misinformation. The one I have comes from the centre of Australia and looks nothing like the Russian ones. Mine kind of looks like a dolphin :-) I've also seen a calcite pseudomorph after quartz in a cluster. It looked like the cluster had been left out in the snow, it was beautiful. Some one else bought it before I could find my bag, Sue -- Version: 7.0.322 / Virus Database: 266.11.12 - Release 17/05/2005 Quote
