Variegated calcite gets its bright colors from various natural admixtures of metals such as iron, kufper, and manganese. Calcites are very popular decorative stones and suitable for gemstone fountains.
Size of the stones about 3 - 5cm, weight per orange calcite stone about 50 to 100 grams.
Especially bright, yellowish orange calcite is also called lemon calcite.
Other names for calcite are calcite/calcareous spath, limestone, double spath and sea chalk. The vernacular also calls calcite a leg-breaking stone. Of the various possible spellings, e.g. calcite, calcite, calcite or calcide, the spelling calcite, which is in common use in the wholesale trade today, has prevailed.
