Citons, parmi les plus fréquentes : le rhomboèdre, le scalénoèdre, le prisme hexagonal. Elle possède trois clivages parallèles aux faces d'un rhomboèdre. Sa densité est 2,71 et sa dureté 3. C'est un cristal uniaxe négatif présentant une forte biréfringence (spath d'Islande). La craie est une variété de calcite.
