Calcium Carbonate: Ca(CO 3), Mn, Fe, Mg and Sr may partially replace Ca in some samples. Color: Transparent to translucent calcite crystals are colorless, white or light-colored; massive forms of calcite are typically buff, gray, or white. Cleavage: Calcite has perfect cleavage in three directions to produce rhombohedra.
