Green calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral with a green color caused by trace elements and inclusions, typically appearing translucent to opaque with a softer, waxy surface.
It forms in sedimentary and hydrothermal environments and has been used in optical applications due to its ability to split light (birefringence).
