Calcite JewelryCalcite Jewelry

Calcite is a common, very soft mineral which comes in a rainbow of colors. It may be completely transparent in its crystalline state, or opaque as in limestone and marble. The crystalline variety may come as very large crystals. Metamorphosed (i.e. heated) calcite is known as Marble and is often used to adorn buildings. Uncompacted calcite is known as chalk. Calcite is the main mineral composing limestone and the stalagmites and stalactites in caves. Calcite will fizz when wetted with a mild acid solution. This is a bi-refringent gemstone--meaning anything viewed through a clear crystal will appeared doubled.
Mystical Properties: Because of its bi-refringent properties, wearing Calcite Jewelry is mystically thought to double the intention of its wearer, i.e., it serves as a psychic amplifier. Because of this amplifying ability, and because calcium carbonate is excreted by living creatures, many religious structures have been composed of marble and limestone and believed to mystically increase the power of prayer.

It's also often considered the mental stone as it enhances intellect. Recommended as a study aid and to improve wisdom and mental harmony.

Golden/Yellow Increase intellect and wisdom.(4th Chakra)
Orange Considered a stone of wisdom, especially for those in charge of other's fates. Thought helpful in all new beginnings, including birthing, new projects or changes.(An important gemstone for the 2nd Chakra)
Red Thought to boost energy and increase the life force.(1st Chakra)
Green Considered a gemstone of joy and emotional balance, Green Calcite is thought important for people who work very hard, or those in drudgery jobs, such as cleaning, garbage collection, etc. as this stone is thought to bring a sense of equality of all men. (4th Chakra)
Blue Thought to help those in authority come into their power in a rightful and meaningful way. Thought to open the knowledge of the ancients on an intuitive level.(5th/7th Chakra)
Pink Considered a gemstone of hope through despairing times. Thought to improve diplomatic skills.

Red Calcite is used to open a closed Heart Chakra (a closed Heart Chakra means the person resists giving or receiving love).

Healing Properties:Green calcite is said to heal mental problems, infections and aid lungs/heart. Gray/blue calcite is thought to have calming properties.

Scientific Properties:Composed of Calcium Carbonate. Dolomite, a form of calcite, is harder because some of the Calcium ions are replaced by Magnesium during the metamorphic process. Dolomite is identified in the field as being heavier and darker (gray) in color. It also fizzes less readily than calcite. Calcite is found commonly throughout the world. 2.5 - 3 on the Moh's Hardness Scale.

Owner Warning! Because Calcite is extremely soft, it should not be worn every day. Use extreme caution in cleaning this mineral as it is easily broken down by most solvents.
