Lime as a natural mineral (calcium oxide, CaO) is extremely rare in nature, forming in high-temperature contact metamorphic zones where limestone is intensely heated by igneous intrusions, as well as in some volcanic ejecta. It occurs as colorless to pale gray cubic crystals with a Mohs hardness of 3.5 and reacts rapidly with water to form portlandite. Natural lime is of scientific curiosity; industrially, synthetic quicklime is one of the highest-volume chemical commodities used in steelmaking, cement production, and water treatment.
