{"product_id":"banded-chocolate-calcite-pyramid","title":"Banded Chocolate Calcite Pyramid","description":"\u003cp\u003eChocolate Calcite is a variety of banded calcite colored by iron oxide and manganese impurities, which produce the warm, layered tones of deep brown, caramel, and cream that give the stone its name. The banding forms as calcite precipitates in successive layers from mineral-rich water, each layer slightly different in composition and color, creating the distinctive striped pattern that makes banded calcite one of the most visually appealing stones in the calcite family.
