Orange calcite belongs to the large calcite family. It is one of the most widespread minerals throughout the world. It can consist essentially of calcium carbonate and be of high purity. Thus, we can find it completely white or transparent. Icelandic spar illustrates the beautiful example of white calcite. Its crystals of fabulous clarity and purity can be of impressive size, up to 25 m long.

Slight distinctions in mineralogical composition and various metal inclusions give calcites their colors. There are inclusions of iron, zinc, lead, magnesium, copper, manganese, nickel, aluminum, vanadium, strontium, chromium, cobalt or molybdenum. The level of metal present in calcite changes the nature of the stone. Indeed, calcite keeps its name as long as the calcium level remains in the majority. So, if the dominant metal in the stone is:

manganese will be rhodochrosite;
iron will be siderite;
zinc will be smithsonite;
cobalt will be spherocobaltite;
magnesium will be magnesite;
strontium will be strontianocalcite;
lead will be plumnocalcite;
etc.

Orange calcite is relatively widespread, but there are other more or less rare colors such as pink, red, brown, black, yellow, blue or green. Orange calcite is characterized by a rhombohedral crystal system. It is a polymorphic crystal, which occurs in various forms, such as those of an elongated prism, tablets, or earthy, etc.
Very effervescent with nitric acid, calcite can disappear completely. Furthermore, it can produce a certain fluorescence but its main quality is birefringence. This is a unique faculty caused by light. Objects observed through pure calcite appear double.
There is no legend about calcite either in various mythologies or in stories passed down through the ages. We only know that the Egyptians already had objects or statuettes carved from calcite stones.
Originally, Pliny the Elder named a mineral "calx", a Latin word meaning limestone. Later, the origin of the name calcite was explained by the origin of the Latin "calcis", meaning lime.
Since the 17th century, calcite has been the source of numerous studies due to its optical characteristics and the special cleavage of the stone. Thus, a lot of research was carried out. Then, they gave rise to the attribution of different names attributed to calcite, such as carbonated lime, aphrite, limestone spar and even focobonite.
Calcite is undoubtedly one of the most common minerals on earth. It is one of the most common constituents of limestone and marble rocks.
The main deposits are in Brazil, Mexico, the United States, etc.
