The calcite form of calcium carbonate forms in all types of rock, according to the Minerals-N-More site. Often, some of the calcium component is replaced by small amounts of Iron, magnesium or manganese. It is found in marble, limestone, sandstone and shale. Calcite is frequently phosphorescent in nature.

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is chiefly composed of calcium carbonate. Limestone is a major rock type. It is mostly marine and biogenic, but can also form as a chemical precipitate (travertine, tufa). Oolite, chalk, calcarenite, coquina, etc. are varieties of limestone.^ Oil shale is a rock that yields oil (shale oil) upon heating without oxygen. Organic (burning) matter in oli shale is kerogen.
