Calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral known for its wide range of colors and crystal forms, often appearing translucent to opaque with a softer, non-glassy surface.
It forms in sedimentary and hydrothermal environments and is widely used in construction materials like limestone and marble, as well as in optical applications due to its light-splitting properties.
