Calcite Natural Tones
Neutral calcites are the quintessence of geological classics. They include snow-white, cream, and beige varieties, such as the famous transparent Iceland Spar and the intriguing Dogtooth Calcite. The latter form, often found in caves or as overgrowths on other minerals (e.g., Ighoud calcite from Morocco), is characterized by sharp, triangular crystals (scalenohedrons). The lack of intense colors indicates the high purity of the mineral. In interior design, neutral calcites introduce calm, elegance, and sculptural, architectural detail
Calcite Cool Tones
Cool shades of calcite are a rare and fascinating phenomenon. Blue and Caribbean Calcite gain their color from trace amounts of copper or other elements, while green and Pistachio Calcite owe their hue to inclusions of green minerals, such as chlorite, trapped during crystallization. These pastel, soothing colors evoke water and vegetation. In home spaces, they make a perfect addition to bedrooms and relaxation zones, introducing an atmosphere of freshness and tranquility
