Is calcite a nonrenewable resource?
No, the calcium the earth has is all it will have. It is not renewable. Most of the calcium available is in fossil form (e.g. ancient coral reefs, deposits of seashells, organic ooze) that will take millions of years to be replaced (like coal, petroleum, and natural gas). However it is easy to use calcium from bones and seashells harvested today.

What is the purpose of seashells?
Seashells are, quite simply, the exoskeletons of mollusks. At Britannica.com, you can learn a good deal about the composition of seashells, including the three distinct substances involved: an outer layer of the horny substance conchiolin, an intermediate layer of calcite, and a smooth inner layer composed mainly of calcium carbonate.But how does a mollusk actually create a shell? An article from Earth & Sky explains:The blood of a mollusk is rich in a liquid form of calcium. A soft, outer organ called the mantle concentrates the calcium in areas where it can separate out from the blood, forming calcium carbonate crystals. The mantle deposits sheets of the crystal in varying thicknesses. The individual crystals in each layer vary in shape and orientation.A facinating new field called biomimicry, which attempts to replicate Nature's materials, has recently generated detailed studies of abalone and conch shells in an attempt to understand the source of their amazing toughness and strength. This knowledge could be used to create unbreakable windshields and other scientific marvels.Largely Calcium Carbonate.scientific marvels.
