👉 Rhipidate is a type of mineral that is composed predominantly of calcium carbonate, but it can also contain other minerals such as iron and magnesium. These minerals are arranged in a repeating pattern or structure called an r-helix. The name "rhipidate" comes from the fact that the mineral has a ring-like shape around its center, which makes it appear rhytidous or hunched up.
