Calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral with a Mohs hardness of 3, occurring in a wide range of forms and colors across every continent. It is a major component of both limestone and marble. Yellow Calcite typically appears in massive formations rather than as individual crystals, with the finest specimens coming from Mexico.

The name “Calcite” comes from the Greek word chalix, meaning lime. Calcite exhibits a remarkable variety of colors, including red, green, orange, yellow, blue, pink, clear, black, and white. It forms in numerous geological environments and takes many different shapes. Some varieties even fluoresce under UV light, displaying blue or red glows. Calcite has been widely used in cement and mortar, while clear, translucent crystals have applications in gun sights and polarizing microscopes.
