Calcite Description:

Calcite is one of the most common minerals. It occurs in a wide variety of shapes and colors, and is a major part of the earth's rock. Calcite belongs to the calcite group of minerals, a group of carbonates that are related to the calcite group of carbonates. They are similar in many physical properties, and may partially or fully replace one another, forming a solid solution series. All members of the calcite group crystallize in the Trigonal system, have perfect rhombohedra cleavage, and exhibit strong double refraction in transparent rhombohedrum's.
