This inspires me! I will be visiting a beach in Mexico tomorrow and I discovered some calcite crystal filled fossil shells last time I was there. This time I am more prepared!

I do love me some blue rocks. That is gorgeous. I don’t know what it is about blue when it comes to rocks but I am there for it.

I do think calcite is involved but wonder how it was formed.

facts: soft. most layers scratched with old copper nail, those that didn't scratched with steel. Translucent. Reacts to household vinegar. Calcium based? Possibly not all layers react, hard to tell. Under UV flashlight (the cheap kind), rocks glow orange, green, purple. Baja California Sur.
