Grounded Calcium carbonate (GCC) ? :

• Calcium carbonate, or CaCO₃,  is one of the most useful and versatile materials known to man.  It is extremely common and found throughout the world in sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks. Some geologists consider it to be a “ubiquitous mineral” – one that is found everywhere.
• It comprises more than 4% of the earths crust and is found throughout the world. Its most common natural forms are chalk, limestone, and marble, produced by the sedimentation of the shells of small fossilized snails, shellfish, and coral over millions of years. Although all three forms are identical in chemical terms, they differ in many other respects, including purity, whiteness, thickness and homogeneity.
• Calcium carbonate rocks are spread throughout the world, which is why they have been among the most widely used raw materials for more than 5000 years. Long ago, the Egyptians built their pyramids with limestone, and today we still use hundred of millions of tonnes of calcium carbonate in the building industry alone.
• However, although the deposits are plentiful, only a few are of sufficiently high quality to be worked and even a fewer number of deposits will provide raw materials for industrial and agricultural uses other than the construction and roads building industry. Only if the purity, degree of whiteness, thickness and homogeneity are acceptable is commercial extraction worthwhile.
• After quarrying, further treatment is required to process natural calcium carbonates of the highest quality, known generically as Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC). Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) is a synthetic calcium carbonate produced industrially by means of a recarbonisation process. Both GCC or PCC can be used in a wide range of applications. For each end use there exists a tailor-made product, where fineness and particle size distribution are optimally balanced to meet the technical demands of that particular requirement.
• Calcite has a hardness of 3.0 on the Mohs hardness scale and that makes it suitable as a low-hardness abrasive.
• Calcium Carbonate as Chalk has been used as a writing tool for over 10,000 years and is a fine, microcrystalline material. As limestone, calcium carbonate is a biogenic rock, and is more compacted than chalk. As marble, calcium carbonate is a coarse-crystalline, metamorphic rock, which is formed when chalk or limestone is re-crystallized under conditions of high temperature and pressure.
• It is Natural / Grounded Calcium Carbonate [chemical formula is CaCO₃]. Also known as Calcite.
• Synonyms of Calcite includes Grounded Calcium Carbonate (GCC), Limestone, Calcium Carbonate, French chalk, marble powder; chalk; choona powder;  carbonate
