Dogtooth Calcite is a distinctive form of calcite mineral characterized by its sharp, pointed crystals that resemble the shape of dog teeth. These crystals typically exhibit a triangular form with irregular sides, making their pointed “dogtooth” appearance particularly notable. While they are commonly colorless or white, variations can present hues of yellow, brown, or purple due to the presence of impurities. With a softness rated at 3 on the Mohs scale, Dogtooth Calcite typically develops in caves, forming on floors and walls. It can also be located within veins, fractures, and geodes. This mineral forms as calcium carbonate gradually precipitates from water enriched with minerals in either cave environments or open spaces, leading to its unique crystallization. Collectors highly value Dogtooth Calcite for its striking aesthetic. In metaphysical circles, it is believed by some to enhance psychic abilities and foster mental clarity.
