Its natural crystal structure allows it to separate along three directions of perfect cleavage, commonly producing distinctive angular forms with broad, sloping faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most remarkable properties of transparent Calcite is \u003cstrong\u003edouble refraction\u003c\/strong\u003e, also known as birefringence. When light passes through sufficiently clear Calcite, it can separate into two rays, causing objects or printed text viewed through the crystal to appear doubled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHighly transparent optical-grade Calcite is historically known as Iceland Spar. Although the visibility of this optical effect varies between individual specimens, the transparent faces and natural crystalline structures of these pieces beautifully demonstrate the distinctive characteristics of Calcite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe delicate golden and champagne colouring is associated with natural impurities and colour-producing features within the mineral.
