Abstract
Hydrothermal growth of calcite single crystal was studied by using NaCl and KCl solutions which have been considered to be naturally existing as the saline mineralizer. Both of NaCl and KCl solutions were found to be the effective mineralizer for the growth of calcite crystal of optical grade. Optically clear single crystals of calcite could be grown from each chloride solution.
