Calcite derives its name from the Greek word “chalix”, meaning lime. This versatile mineral occurs in a wide spectrum of colors, including red, green, orange, yellow, blue, pink, clear, black, and white. As one of the most abundant minerals on Earth, calcite forms the foundation of limestone and marble. It appears in many forms and develops in diverse geological environments. Some varieties even fluoresce blue or red under UV light. Historically, calcite has been used in cement and mortar, while clear, translucent specimens have served in gun sights and polarizing microscopes.
