what is Calcite's Solubility, I barely know what solubility mean let alone what it has to do with Calcite.
Ivahew [28]

Calcite can be either dissolved by groundwater or precipitated by groundwater, depending on several factors including the water temperature, pH, and dissolved ion concentrations. Although calcite is fairly insoluble in cold water, acidity can cause dissolution of calcite and release of carbon dioxide gas.
