Wenn die Körner plattenförmige (laminae) Gestalt haben, so bezeichnet man diese Aggregate, je nach Größe, als schuppig oder blättrig (lamellar). Die individuellen Platten sind im Allgemeinen parallel, können aber auch um ein gemeinsames Zentrum gebogen sein und konzentrische Formen bilden. Wenn die Platten dünn und trennbar sind, bezeichnet man die Aggregate als blättrig oder schieferig. Wenn ein Mineral aus kleinen Schuppen besteht, wird es als glimmerartig bezeichnet. Beispiele: Calcit und Gips (rosettenartig), Glimmer (charakteristisch glimmerartig),Talk und manche Hämatitaggregate (schuppig) ... ein Beitrag von Perter Seroka |

It is found in very different shapes, both compact as limestone as well as sinter in caves and in the crystalline state. But even in our daily life calcite is always present: in some regions it blockes water pipes as "chalk", we build our houses with it, it is in our food chain and without it we could not stand upright. Calcite is not rare, but the varied mineral on Earth. The variety of forms and variations of the forms of calcite are unmatched in the world of mineralogy. By 2009, more than 800 Calcit forms have been described. |
