Contact SupplierCalcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Sulaxana’s Calcite is the principal constituent of limestone, chalk and marble. These rocks are extremely common and make up a significant portion of Earth's crust. High quality stones are manually selected at the mines after chemical test for purity and then dispatch to work for further processing.
