A metamorphic rock formed from limestone that has been transformed by heat and pressure, containing calcium minerals.
From Latin 'calcis' (limestone) + Greek 'pyr' (fire). The name describes rocks that have been 'cooked' by heat, creating new mineral combinations from the original limestone.
Calciphyre rocks are basically limestone's dramatic transformation into something stronger—kind of like how pressure and heat turn coal into diamonds, except with rocks made of calcium!
