Collection: CALCITE

Calcite is a common mineral made of calcium carbonate that occurs in a wide range of colors and crystal forms, from clear and white to yellow, orange, or green depending on impurities. It forms in many geological settings, including sedimentary environments like limestone and marble, as well as in caves where it builds stalactites and stalagmites over time through mineral-rich water deposition. Historically, calcite has been used in construction, sculpture, and decorative stonework, and it is one of the most abundant and widely distributed minerals in the Earth’s crust.
