Calcite derives its name from the Greek word “chalix,” meaning lime. It is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth, forming the primary component of limestone and marble. Known for its wide variety of colors—including red, green, orange, yellow, blue, pink, clear, black, and white—calcite appears in countless forms and geological environments. Some varieties fluoresce vivid blue or red under UV light. Historically, calcite has been used in cement and mortar production, while exceptionally clear specimens were once crafted into gun sights and polarizing microscopes.
Cobaltoan Calcite is a striking variety of calcite, recognized for its crystalline form and deep pink to magenta hues caused by cobalt inclusions. With a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale, it shares the physical properties of standard calcite but stands out for its vibrant color and rarity. Significant deposits of Cobaltoan Calcite are found in Morocco, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Germany, Italy, England, the United States, and Australia.
