More About Calcite:

Four percent of the Earth’s crust is composed of calcite, making it a very common mineral. It’s a beautiful one though, coming in a rainbow of colors, all of which seem to glow with their own internal light (in fact, some specimens are said to glow in the dark!). It forms in rhombohedrons—like cubes, only with odd angles—and usually feels silky or waxy to the touch due to acid-treatment.

Healing Properties of Calcite:

Uses of calcite vary by color. The purest form, clear calcite, promotes dreaming and astral travel. It can intensify visual images, making it useful for scrying. Orange calcite is a natural “detox” stone, which can help clear up the energy of both lingering physical complaints and mental fuzz. Green calcite promotes vitality. Blue is an excellent cooling stone, helping us find relief from physical inflammation and anger. These are only the most common varieties.
