Type Mineral
Location Geode; Omni Geode
Sell Price 75g

Calcite is a geode mineral from ordinary Geodes and Omni Geodes. Plain Geodes are common from the first days of a farm, so Calcite is often among the earliest museum donations. It sells for a modest price, the same as Granite from the same geode and half the price of Alamite. Beyond the museum, its uses are tailoring and dyeing, where it gives a yellow colour. The Wizard likes it as a gift, but nearly everyone else dislikes it.

The in-game description reads: This yellow crystal is speckled with shimmering nodules.


Location

Calcite only comes from geodes. A plain Geode has roughly one chance in thirty-two of holding it. An Omni Geode can hold it too, though its odds are split across the minerals of every geode type, so each Omni Geode is a weaker chance.

Plain Geodes come from rocks above ground, and in The Mines mostly from floors 1 to 39. Duggies drop them as well. They also turn up in Fishing Treasure Chests, and a full Stonefish Fish Pond can produce them. A Geode Node broken with a pickaxe also gives one.

Clint at the Blacksmith opens each geode for 25g. A Geode Crusher does the same job once its recipe arrives from Clint's Cave Patrol special order. The odds stay the same on lucky and unlucky days.

Prices

Calcite earns a small profit over the 25g it costs to have Clint crack its geode. The Gemologist profession at Mining level 10 adds thirty percent to the price of every gem and mineral, Calcite included.

A Crystalarium can copy Calcite, but each copy takes about three and a half days. That works out to only about 22g a day. An Earth Crystal from the same plain Geode copies in about half a day and earns several times as much, so Calcite is a poor use of the machine.

Uses

Donating the first Calcite to Gunther adds it to the museum's mineral collection. Every new mineral counts towards his rewards. The early ones are furniture such as the Standing Geode and the Singing Stone. The Crystal Chair follows at 41 minerals and a Crystalarium at 50.

Putting Calcite and Cloth in the Sewing Machine makes a Shirt. Calcite also works as a yellow dye in the dye pots at Emily and Haley's house.

Gifts

The Wizard likes Calcite. A cheap stack of spares makes a handy weekly gift for him.

The Dwarf, Krobus and Sandy all dislike Calcite. Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam dislike it as well, as do Jas, Leo and Vincent. The shopkeepers Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy dislike it too. So do the marriage candidates Abigail, Alex, Elliott, Emily, Haley, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam, Sebastian and Shane.

From the second day of the game, rocks across the valley and in The Mines can drop Geodes, so Calcite is within reach early.
