Calcite Pendants
Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph
of calcium carbonate The other polymorphs are the aragonite and vaterite. Calcite is transparent to opaque and may occasionally
show phosphorescence or fluorescence. It is perhaps best known because of its power to produce strong double refraction of
light, such that objects viewed through a clear piece of calcite appear doubled. Because of it's softness it is rarely used
in jewelry, but can make wonderful pendants and earrings.
