We are going to talk about calcite. Calcite is a very common mineral found in most places of the earth. Calcite comes in over 300 different shapes. This is more than any other mineral.

Pure calcite is colorless or white, but due to impurities it can be red, yellow, green, honey pink, black, brown or blue.

An interesting way of identifying calcite is the acid test. When you place drops of a weak acid such as vinegar on calcite, it will bubble.
