Calcite is a common mineral, found in many environments worldwide. Calcite is the main mineral that makes stalagmites and stalactites. It is found in a wonderful range of colours including orange, green, blue, aqua, honey, rosey red and occasionally black.

Black Calcite is the most grounding but is has no heaviness at all. It is clearing, as are all Calcites, and is excellent for grounding spirit. It can help with shamanic h=journeying and if people are speed out after meditation.

Although Calcite works as deep and profound levels, it ‘comes in gently’ and can be easier to work with than some other minerals. For this reason I often recommend it for children, and there are 3 Calcites in the Good Night Baby set.

Calcite is a soft mineral, and is seldom made into jewellery. It is easily scratched by other crystals and coins in purses and pockets, so you need to treat it with care. It is good to incorporate in a charm for a child's bedroom.
