👉 Novaculite is a type of mineral that primarily occurs in the rocks and minerals found in the Earth's crust. It can be characterized by its distinct, white or pale yellow appearance due to the presence of calcium carbonate inclusions within the rock. These inclusions are typically found in the form of cavities or cracks. The term "novaculite" is derived from the Latin word for "new" or "young", as it was first identified and named by the mineralogist
