characteristics
Pure calcites are colorless, but if they contain iron they become yellow and if they contain manganese they turn pink. This is a colorful mineral that also comes in other colors, such as gray, green, and blue. In addition, limestones and marbles are masses of granular crystals of calcite. Due to the high refractivity, when seeing things through a calcite you see double images.
