About Caribbean Calcite

Caribbean calcite is a mineral that is found in Pakistan and is named for its color resembling the beaches of the Caribbean. There is some debate within the mineral community about whether Caribbean calcite is a pure form of calcite or a blend of aragonite and calcite. The unique blue coloration of Caribbean calcite is believed to be due to the presence of copper impurities in the crystal structure. Mining locations for Caribbean calcite include regions in Pakistan where the mineral is extracted and processed for various uses.
