Geological Background: Formation of Green Calcite
Green calcite is a naturally occurring variety of calcite, a calcium carbonate mineral (CaCO₃) found in sedimentary, metamorphic, and hydrothermal environments. It forms through the slow precipitation of calcium-rich waters, often within limestone caves, fissures, or mineral veins.
Distinctive geological features of green calcite include:
- Chemical composition: Calcium carbonate
- Colour origin: Soft to vivid green shades created by trace mineral inclusions such as chlorite or iron
- Crystal habit: Commonly forms rhombohedral crystals, fibrous masses, or layered structures
- Transparency: Ranges from opaque to translucent, depending on geological conditions
- Hardness: Mohs 3, allowing for smooth polishing and a gentle, velvety shine
Green calcite is often associated with sedimentary rock formations and can develop in environments where mineral-rich groundwater interacts with limestone over long geological periods. Its calming colour and natural softness make it a favourite material for jewellery and decorative arts.
