calcite         
['kals??t]
¦ noun a white or colourless mineral consisting of calcium carbonate.
Derivatives
calcitic adjective
Origin
C19: from Ger. Calcit, from L. calx, calc- (see calx).
Calcite         
·noun Calcium carbonate, or carbonate of lime. It is rhombohedral in its crystallization, and thus distinguished from aragonite. It includes common limestone, chalk, and marble. Called also calc-spar and calcareous spar.
calcareous spar         
Iceland spar, Iceland crystal, crystallized carbonate of lime.

Wikipedia

Calcite

Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). It is a very common mineral, particularly as a component of limestone. Calcite defines hardness 3 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, based on scratch hardness comparison. Large calcite crystals are used in optical equipment, and limestone composed mostly of calcite has numerous uses.

Other polymorphs of calcium carbonate are the minerals aragonite and vaterite. Aragonite will change to calcite over timescales of days or less at temperatures exceeding 300 °C, and vaterite is even less stable.
