Crystallization of a calcite sphere in a NaNO₃ solution
Authors:
Abstract
A hemisphere with a radius of 5 mm and a diametral plane (110) (the cleavage plane) was cut from a cleavage fragment of calcite. This hemisphere, attached with wax to a glass hemisphere of the same diameter, was suspended on a thread in a supersaturated NaNO3 solution. Prior to this, to clean the surface of the calcite hemisphere, the sphere assembled as described above was immersed for several seconds in a dilute hydrochloric acid solution.
