How Calcite Is Formed

Calcite, the most common form of natural calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a widely distributed mineral known for the beautiful development and great variety of its crystals.

Formula:CaCO3

Colour:White, Yellow, Red, Orange, Blue, Green, Brown, Gray etc.

Hardness:3

What Does Calcite Look Like

Translucent calcite composed of fibrous crystals, which, like fibrous gypsum, with which it is often confused, causes a silky sheen. When cut cabochon, it produces a girasol or chatoyant effect, but not a true 's-eye. Also like fibrous gypsum,

Calcite Grinding Process

Calcite grinding is the required process when size reduction of below 5-20 mm is needed. Grinding is a powdering or pulverizing process. 

The most suitable for calcite powder grinding is ultrafine grinding mill. Our ultrafine grinding mill is the ideal equipment to grind calcite, chalk, limetsone, dolomite, kaolin, gypsum, feldspar to micro powder between 47 ~ 5 microns, which features high efficiency, long lifetime of wearing parts, high safety and reliability, the product fineness can reach D97 ≤ 5μm and environment friendly.

The other machine can be used in calcite powder grinding is Raymond mill. Raymond mill is the traditional grinding mill, which can be used to grind non-flammable and non-explosive materials with Mohs hardness below 9.3 and moisture content below 6%, such as limetsone, gypsum, calcium carbonate, barite, calcite, feldspar, clinker, dolomite, silicon carbide, etc. Size of final products can be adjusted between 30-2500 mesh.
