CARIBBEAN CALCITE

(Pakistan)

A calcium carbonate mineral with the formula CaCO₃. It is a common rock forming mineral and the main component of Marble and Limestone. It has one of the most extensive uses of any mineral, including building material, abrasives, soil treatment, concrete, pigment, calcium supplements for livestock, antacids, pharmaceuticals and more. The formation of Limestone deep within the earth traps and holds carbon dioxide for long periods of time, trapping heat within the earth’s crust. Much of the earth’s limestone is formed from the ground down bodies of marine animals and corals, whose shells are made from both calcite aragonite, a polymorph of calcite. All Aragonite will turn into calcite at temperatures over 300℃. The name Calcite comes from the latin for “chalk”. There are over 800 different growth forms of calcite. Caribbean Calcite specifically is a very light blue, mixed with white and brown Aragonite. It has cracks and crevices that may contain a sparkly coating of drusy calcite growth. It is relatively new to the mineral world, only coming to market in 2019 from Pakistan. Its bright color has made it extremely popular and it is likely to be mined out very soon.
