Calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral with a Mohs hardness of 3, present in numerous forms and colors across every continent. It constitutes a large portion of marble and limestone. Yellow Calcite often appears in massive forms rather than crystals, with the finest examples sourced from Mexico. The name derives from the Greek word “chalix,” meaning lime. This mineral comes in a wide spectrum of colors, such as red, green, orange, yellow, blue, pink, clear, black, and white. Calcite is among the most abundant minerals on Earth, forming in diverse geological conditions. Certain varieties show blue or red fluorescence under UV light. Historically, it has been utilized in cement and mortar production, while its clear, translucent forms have been employed in gun sights and polarizing microscopes.
