MINERAL DESCRIPTION

Calcite is truly one of the best collection type minerals. There are lots of interesting forms and varieties as well as colorful and beautiful specimens to collect. It is generally easy to identify using its rhobohedral cleavage, reaction to acid and double refraction and makes for a great classroom example of these properties. 

If it is not the significant mineral on a specimen, it might be an accessory to other wonderful minerals and only enhancing their attractiveness. With its many different forms, environments, associations and colors, a collector could never have all possible combinations of calcite covered. Calcites are among the most varied and abundant crystals, and they happen in a variety of forms and colors.

  HEALING PROPERTIES

Optical calcite increases and amplifies energy. This makes it an excellent stone for distance healing, as well as other types of healing. One of the energies it amplifies is learning abilities, and thus is a great stone for students.

Optical calcite works to clear and activate all of the chakras, improving the flow of energy throughout the subtle bodies. Meditation with optical calcite can help to improve one's perception of the physical world and of the self, creating a shift in those who experience predominantly negative emotions. Use optical calcite to clear away negative energy, and to amplify positive energy, and specifically, to help remove fear-based emotions, bringing more optimism into one's experience.

Calcite is also known as the "stone of the mind." Calcite heightens mental discernment and analysis, increases memory and learning abilities. Calcite is THE stone for students and academics, and can be indispensable at helping students to retain their lessons. Calcite is also useful during times of mental adjustments and disagreements. Calcite can show you a new way to look at a situation, easing you away from old, outdated thought patterns that may be in the way of new ideas.
