calcium carbonate
Limestone's main component
Calcium carbonate is a white mineral compound found naturally in chalk, limestone, marble, and shells.
It's the calcium supplement in antacids and fortified foods, theiteite in stalactites, and theite in stalagmites.
Industrial uses include cement, paper coating, and as a filler in plastics and paints.
