Calcite

In this video, we explore the fascinating stone called calcite. Learn about its chemical composition (CaCO₃), its wide variety of colors, its hardness (3 on the Mohs scale), its perfect cleavage in three directions, and its different crystal formations. Discover its specific gravity (2.71), its vitreous to pearly luster, its white streak, and the famous locations where calcite can be found, such as Mexico, the United States, Brazil, Germany, and China. Calcite is not only beautiful but also has a rich history and has been used in construction, optics, and as an industrial mineral.
