Calcite (CaCO3), a sedimentary rock, is found most abundantly in many geological environments. It has a perfect cleavage in 3 directions, which makes it the most difficult rock to cut, and moreover, the labour of cutting calcite is also very high. What term related to metallurgy will suitably describe Calcite in the context of extracting calcium from calcite?
