Is calcite metallic or nonmetallic?
Calcite is a compound and therefore cannot be classified as a metal or nonmetal.
Is fluorite harder than calcite?
Yes, fluorite is harder than calcite. Fluorite has a hardness of 4 on the Mohs scale, while calcite has a hardness of 3. This means that fluorite can scratch calcite, but calcite cannot scratch fluorite.
What kind of rock contains calcite?
Limestone is a common type of rock that contains calcite. Calcite is a mineral commonly found in sedimentary rocks like limestone, which is composed mainly of calcite minerals. It can also be found in marble, another rock type that consists mostly of calcite.

What minnerals make salt?

After a calcite test the liquid evaporates what is left in the dish?
Salt Crystals
How can you tell the difference between calcite crystals and salt crystals?
Calcite crystals will effervesce in vinegar, quartz will not. Quartz will scratch calcite. The opposite is not true. Quartz and calcite have different crystal structures and different specific gravities. The list goes on, but if you are trying to distinguish them, the above should help.
Is calcite an organic compound?
Calcite is the most stable polymorphous form of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a very common insoluble mineral salt. Though it contains Carbon and Oxygen it is not considered to be organic.
Name two minerals that may be left behind when a body of salt water evaporates answer?
Examples: sodium chloride (halite) and calcite.
What are two differences between calcite and quartz?
Calcite is calcium carbonate, and dissolves when in contact with acid.Quartz is silicon dioxide.There are lots of differences between the two... more than they have in common!See the Web Links to the left of this answer for more information.
Is calcite magnetic?
No, calcite is not magnetic. It is a non-magnetic mineral.
How is calcite extracted from earth?
Halite is more commonly known as rock salt and is the mineral form of sodium chloride. Halite can be mined from salt deposits found throughout the world.
