Pronunciation: Kah-ree-bee-an Kal-site
Mineral Overview 
Caribbean Calcite belongs to the carbonate mineral group and is a variety of Calcite often naturally combined with brown Aragonite. It crystallises within the trigonal crystal system and typically displays light blue white and soft brown colouring arranged in bands or cloud like formations.
This material forms through sedimentary processes where calcium carbonate rich solutions slowly crystallise over time. The blue colouring is associated with trace mineral content while the brown tones result from the presence of Aragonite. Caribbean Calcite is currently known to originate from Pakistan where geological conditions allow this distinctive combination to develop.
