Are you sure you've got all the letters right then? I checked on a crossword site and got the same answer as the first person. You can check it out by clicking on the link
EDIT: is that last question mark one of the letters? if it is then I think Deflagrated has it right. I came across that too but thought it was too long.

Its obviously some kind of Spar...
Iceland Spar, Satin Spar, Fluorspar, Derbyshire Spar (aka Blue John), Feldspar etc
I think you've got one of the corresponding down clues wrong that is giving the first R.... I think the answer will be "Calcspar"

The answer is Madrepore.
It's actually a type of coral, but it's formed from calcium carbonate crystals.
