Calcite gets its name from the Greek word “chalix,” meaning lime. It comes in a wide variety of colors, including red, green, orange, yellow, blue, pink, clear, black, and white. It is one of the most common minerals on Earth, making up the basis of limestone and marble. It takes many different forms and is formed in many different geological environments. Some forms fluoresce blue or red under UV light. It has been used to make cement and mortar, and very clear translucent calcite has been used to make gun sights and geological (polarizing) microscopes.

Cobaltoan Calcite is a distinctive variety of the common mineral calcite (calcium carbonate), renowned for its vibrant pink to rose-red coloration. This unique hue is not inherent to calcite but is the direct result of trace amounts of cobalt substituting for calcium within its crystalline structure. With a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale, it is a relatively soft mineral. Cobaltoan Calcite forms in well-defined crystals and is a secondary mineral found in specific localities worldwide, including notable deposits in Morocco, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Germany, and North America. As a variety of calcite, it shares the same fundamental properties as the minerals that form limestone and marble.
