Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate. The Mohs hardness is 3. Calcite can form by direct precipitation from waters rich in calcium. As concentrations increase or the amount of water decreases crystals of solid calcite crystals form. Calcite can also form in caves and where springs emerge on the surface. Calcite metaphysically is believed to amplify thought, improve memory, and promote development.
