Calcite is a mineral composed of calcium carbonate with a Mohs hardness of 3. It appears in numerous shapes and colors and is found worldwide. Primarily, it consists of marble and limestone. Yellow calcite is typically massive rather than crystalline, with top-quality samples sourced from Mexico. The name derives from the Greek "chalix," meaning lime. This mineral displays various colors, including red, green, orange, yellow, blue, pink, clear, black, and white. Calcite forms in diverse geological settings, and some varieties glow blue or red under UV light. It has practical uses in cement, mortar, and optical instruments like gun sights and polarizing microscopes.
