Stone Facts:

• Calcite is calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), one of the most common minerals on Earth and the main component of limestone and marble
• It shows strong double refraction, so clear calcite makes a line seen through it appear doubled
• Calcite sits at Mohs 3, so it scratches easily; keep it away from harder stones and avoid water and acids
