Synthetic Calcite 1.0 comparison - UV

Synthesized Calcite attempt -- Comparison

 

Top: Unwashed precipitate (note cubic halite crystals). Also contained synthetic willemite as it was drying.

 

Bottom Left: Precipitate from dissolved SynthStone experiments. No extra manganese was added.

 

Bottom Right: Precipitate from a solution of calcium chloride, lead chloride, manganese chloride and sodium carbonate. This was washed to remove the byproduct of sodium chloride (halite).

 

FOV: ~6" wide
