Dogtooth spar is a speleothem that consists of large calcite crystals that form through mineral precipitation of water-borne calcite. Dogtooth spar crystals are found in caves, open spaces including veins and fractures, and geodes. They are so named for their resemblance to dog's teeth. The crystals are generally centimeters long, but anomalous samples decimeters long exist, notably in Sitting Bull Crystal Caverns. A layer of crystalline calcite can be found underneath the surface of crystal poi
