Fig. 3. Top views of the (10 4) (A) and
(11 0)
(B) faces of calcite. On the (10 4) face,
the plane containing carbonate ions is parallel to the surface
and always exhibits an O-C-O pattern, whereas on the (11 0)
face, Y-shaped carbonate ions lie perpendicular to the surface,
presenting alternately one or two oxygen atoms. Color codes are
gray for carbon, red for oxygen, and blue for calcium atoms.
