Fig. 8. High-resolution SEM images of a natural calcite crystal before and after dissolution under far-from-equilibrium conditions (Series 7). A) SEM image of natural calcite reactant showing an equant polyhedral crystal characterized by well-developed crystal faces and slightly smooth edges and corners. B) SEM image of natural calcite reactant after 30% dissolution under far-from-equilibrium conditions showing a nearly spherical crystal with smooth edges and corners, as well as well-developed crystal faces observed.
