Calcite
An Introduction to Calcite
Calcite is a large group of calcium carbonate minerals. All calcites are soft and delicate (3 on the Mohs hardness scale), making them easily to scratch or to accidentally separate smaller chunks from a larger stone.
Calcite is the principal mineral in limestone and marble. This means you’ve seen it on countertops. More romantically, calcite is also the mineral that make caves so magical. Rainwater seeps through cracks in limestone, and through a series of chemical reactions, calcite-rich water then drips from the roof of the cave, depositing the calcite into hanging columns of stalactites and sometimes carrying calcite to the cave floor, creating the growing towers of stalagmites.
Calcites are found on every continent and in a wide variety of colors, making them, like Quartz, a preferred gem family for chakra healing. With red, orange, yellow, green, pink, blue, and white you can cover nearly every major chakra.
