Composition

The name Calcite is taken from both the Latin calix or Greek kalux, meaning husk or pod. The German word Kalkstein is derived from it, meaning chalk or limestone, as Calcite is found in limestone deposits as the main ingredient. It is a Calcium Carbonate of the carbonates class of crystals and comes in a range of yellow colours from amber, golden brown to pale gold, and is translucent to opaque in appearance. Honey Calcite is named after the honeycomb pattern that appears on its polished surface. It is formed by growing long, fibrous tubular cells and honey-coloured crystals surrounded by white membranes.
