Calcite is a block exclusively found in geodes and stony peaks.
Calcite drops as an item if mined by any pickaxe. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
Calcite generates naturally as part of the structure of amethyst geodes, between the smooth basalt and block of amethyst layers. It also generates in the stony peaks in strips.
Calcite is used for decoration. It has lower blast resistance and hardness than most other stone-related blocks.
