This pretty little bowl made of orange calcite is perfect as a candle holder or, of course, for collecting “odds and ends.” Other names for calcite include calcite, limestone, double spar, and sea chalk. In common parlance, calcite is also called “bone-breaking stone.” Of the various possible spellings—e.g., kalzit, calzit, kalcit, or calcid—the spelling “calcit,” which is commonly used in wholesale today, has become the standard.
