Here’s a fantastic thumbnail of Calcite from a small farm in Canada. Great luster, color, and striations! Calcite is a carbonate mineral composed of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, and a member of the Calcite Group. First described before 1959, its name comes from the Latin calx, meaning lime. Calcite is widely used in limestone and marble for construction materials and cement.
