In the calcium carbonate section of your local grocery store.

Honestly, I have no idea.

And just why are you doing this anyways?

In my chemistry class we use calcium carbonate ALOT. Search on manufactureres for calcium carbonate on google.com. Also, ever do a flame test on calcium carbonate? pretty sweet stuff. the flame glows green/blue. CHalk is also made out of magnesium I think. That too is sweet burning crap. Its the stuff they put on sparklers. Im gonna try and light some of my chalk on fire as soon as I get it (12-25)

yeah magnesium is cool stuff. im a machinist and i have to machine it sometimes. one time i was taking some pretty heavy cuts on this block of it and shot a spark. that was no little fire. that is some dangerous stuff. exciting though.
