Calcium is used to produce the minerals contained in bones, shells and teeth through a process called biomineralisation. Calcium phosphate (also known as hydroxyapatite) is the mineral component of bones and teeth and is a particularly good example of how organisms fabricate 'living' composite materials.alcium is a silvery-white, soft metal that tarnishes rapidly in air and reacts with water. Uses. Calcium metal is used as a reducing agent in preparing other metals such as thorium and uranium. It is also used as an alloying agent for aluminium, beryllium, copper, lead and magnesium alloys.
It can also be dissolved in bodies of water like our oceans and rivers. It is also common in the form of calcite or a white mineral found in limestone and marbles.
