The name calcite comes from the Greek word “chalix,” which means lime. This mineral appears in a variety of colors such as red, green, orange, yellow, blue, pink, clear, black, and white. As one of the most abundant minerals on Earth, it forms the foundation of limestone and marble. Calcite exists in numerous shapes and develops in diverse geological environments. Some types glow blue or red when exposed to UV light. It has been widely used in making cement and mortar, and its clear, translucent form has been utilized in the production of gun sights and polarizing microscopes for geological purposes.
