Calcite is a carbonate mineral, one of the most common minerals on Earth, and is the principal constituent of limestone and marble. It is highly variable in form and colour, occurring in virtually every hue, including clear, white, yellow, orange, blue, green, and pink. It is known for its perfect cleavage and, especially in the clear variety (Iceland Spar), for its distinctive double refraction property. When polished, it has a beautiful vitreous lustre, but is generally too soft for daily jewellery wear.

Calcite is known as the "Stone of Energy Amplification and Clearing." It is a powerful cleanser of stagnant energy, both in the environment and within the body's subtle energy fields. It encourages mental clarity, stimulates insight, and accelerates spiritual development. Its main strength lies in its ability to amplify energy and intention, making it an excellent tool for manifesting, study, and preparing the mind for higher learning.

Hardness: 3 on the Mohs scale (it is a very soft mineral and easily scratched).

Chakra: Varies significantly by colour (e.g., Orange Calcite for the Sacral; Green Calcite for the Heart), but generally works on clearing and opening all chakras.

How to use Calcite

Place it in your home: Keep a large piece of any colour Calcite in rooms that feel heavy or stagnant to continuously clear and amplify positive energy, promoting an atmosphere of vitality and clarity.

Meditate with it: Hold the stone during meditation, focusing on your specific intention or affirmation, as Calcite will help to amplify and project that energy into your aura and the universe.

Carry it: Carry a piece of your preferred colour (e.g., Orange for joy, Green for healing) to draw on its specific energy throughout the day, boosting your motivation and spiritual growth.

Wear it: Due to its softness, Calcite is generally not recommended for regular jewellery. It is best used as a specimen in a static location or as a palm stone.
