What is Calcite?
Calcite is calcium carbonate, one of the most common minerals on earth and the main component of limestone and marble. It comes in almost every colour: orange, honey, green, blue, pink and clear.
Clear "Iceland spar" calcite shows strong double refraction — look through it and every line appears twice. It is soft and reacts with acids.
