La calcite a servi à l'établissement des lois fondamentales de la cristallographie. Elle est rhomboédrique. Ses formes sont très nombreuses dans la nature. 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. On trouve également la calcite dans les stalactites, les stalagmites, le marbre blanc de Carrare et de Paros, l'albâtre calcaire - dont l'onyx d'Algérie est une variété -, la pierre lithographique [...] 2, record 3, French, - calcite
