Calcium carbonate is also used as a firming agent in many canned and bottled vegetable products. Several calcium supplement formulations have been documented to contain the chemical element lead, [69] posing a public health concern. [70] Lead is commonly found in natural sources of calcium. [69]
Calcite is found in many different areas in the United States. One of the best examples is the Calcite Quarry in Michigan. [23] The Calcite Quarry is the largest carbonate mine in the world and has been in use for more than 85 years. [23] Large quantities of calcite can be mined from these sizeable open pit mines.

This is an index of lists of molecules (i.e. by year, number of atoms, etc.). Millions of molecules have existed in the universe since before the formation of Earth. Three of them, carbon dioxide , water and oxygen were necessary for the growth of life.
Of the 94 naturally occurring chemical elements, 76 are listed in the table above. Of the remaining 18, it is not known how many occur in the human body. Most of the elements needed for life are relatively common in the Earth's crust.

Aragonite is a carbonate mineral and one of the three most common naturally occurring crystal forms of calcium carbonate (Ca CO 3), the others being calcite and vaterite.It is formed by biological and physical processes, including precipitation from marine and freshwater environments.
