	Calcium - New World Encyclopedia
		Calcium carbonate is used in construction materials; calcium oxide is used for treating water, sewage, and acidic soils; and calcium hydroxide is used for processing water for beverages and neutralizing acids in the tanning industry.
		Rather, it occurs in the form of various compounds: calcium carbonate in limestone rocks, marble, coral, and the shells of mollusks; calcium magnesium carbonate in the mineral dolomite; calcium sulfate dihydrate in the mineral gypsum; calcium fluoride in the mineral fluorite; and calcium phosphate in the apatite group of minerals.
		Calcium hydroxide is also a filler used in the preparation of dry mixes for painting and decorating; manufacturing mixes for pesticides; and manufacturing brake pads.

	Calcium - LoveToKnow 1911
		Calcium oxide or lime has been known from a very remote period, and was for a long time considered to be an elementary or undecomposable earth.
		On electrolysis a layer of metallic calcium is formed at the lower end of this rod on the surface of the electrolyte; the rod is gradually raised, the thickness of the layer increases, and ultimately a rod of metallic calcium, forming, as it were, a continuation of the iron cathode, is obtained.
		Whereas calcium chloride, bromide, and iodide are deliquescent solids, the fluoride is practically insoluble in water; this is a parallelism to the soluble silver fluoride, and the insoluble chloride, bromide and iodide.
