Crystal calcite is a versatile, natural mineral used to create many types of inlay. Calcite can be used as is or dyed to emulate a variety of luxurious gemstones, such as sapphire blue, amethyst purple, ruby red, and more. Other materials can be mixed in to enhance its appearance such as metal filings, Mother-of-Pearl Flake/Fine, or pearlescent pigments that add a shimmering translucent chatoyant effect. Simply fill a void with Crystal Calcite Inlay, and adhere using thin CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive).
On the Mohs Hardness Scale, Calcite has a hardness of 3.0 and is easily sanded using silicon carbine (Carborundum) or aluminum oxide (corundum) sandpaper, which has a hardness of 9.0. It is durable and provides an excellent surface to polish and/or finish.
Note: These products are made from nature, so there may be variations in color and minor impurities, which add to the overall natural aesthetic.
