CALCITE Johnson Rd., Bow, NH 4 mm field of view. 0.5 mm calcite crystals oriented on dolomite rhombs. CALCITE Johnson Rd., Bow, NH 0.5 mm calcite crystals oriented on dolomite rhombs.	Species: CALCITE Locality: Johnson Rd., Bow, NH Specimen Size: 12 mm field of view - top photo. 0.5 mm calcite crystals oriented on dolomite rhombs. Field Collected: 2016 Catalog No.: 2071 Notes: These oriented calcite rhombs are quite interesting. My larger field views are not particularly satisfying. The largest FOV with this set was using +7 diopters on my Canon. The middle FOV was through the Meiji (stack of 23). The close-up was with the Nikon objective, stack of 18 images. Of the dozen or so multi-inch samples acquired from Paul Young, only one had calcite crystals.
