Other names for calcite are calcite/limestone spar, limestone, double spar and sea chalk. The vernacular also calls calcite "Beinbruchstein". Of the various possible spellings, e.g. calcite, calcite, calcite or calcide, the spelling calcite, which is commonly used in the wholesale trade today, has prevailed.
