Calcite is a fun and colorful calcium carbonate mineral with a hardness of 3, showing up in all sorts of shapes and shades around the globe. It’s the main ingredient in marble and limestone, and the brightest yellow versions—often found in Mexico—usually come in solid chunks instead of crystals. Named from the Greek word “chalix” meaning lime, calcite dazzles in colors like orange, red, green, blue, pink, and more. It’s everywhere on Earth, popping up in all kinds of geological settings, and some even glow under UV light! Plus, it’s been used for everything from building materials to cool gun sights and microscopes.
