In-Game Information

Calcite is a Template:L stone; however, it is not particularly special as it is found solely within Template:L and Template:L, both of which are also flux. Its only distinguishing characteristic is that it is Template:L.

Real-World Information

Calcite is a crystalline form of Calcium-Carbonate (CaCO3). Calcite is extremely common, forming multiple types of rocks, such as limestone, marble, and chalk, it is also known to form as a concrete in some sandstones and siltstones. Calcite, along with other crystalline forms of Calcium Carbonate such as Aragonite (which is not present in Dwarf Fortress) is readily edible (although not easily chewed, and not very palatable), and can be used to as an supplementary source of calcium in an otherwise calcium-poor diet.
