When carbon dioxide (CO2) combines with calcium ions, it can form the mineral calcite (CaCO3). This process typically occurs in marine environments, where CO2 reacts with calcium-rich waters to precipitate calcite, which is a major component of limestone and shells of marine organisms. Other minerals, such as aragonite, can also form from similar processes involving CO2 and calcium.
