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 rhombohedral cleavage and reaction to acid and makes for a great classroom example of these properties.

The name Calcite is from the Greek word "chalx" which means "lime". Environmentally, calcite is very important and may have been quite important to the successful development of our planet in the past. By pulling carbon dioxide out of the sea water, this biological activity allows more of the carbon dioxide in the air to dissolve in the sea water and thus acts as a carbon dioxide filter for the planet.

With its many different forms, environments, associations and colors, a collector could never have all possible combinations of calcite covered. Calcite is among the most varied and abundant crystals, and they happen in a variety of forms and colors.

HEALING PROPERTIES

The soft and gentle color of blue calcite is so soothing to our nerves. This light blue beauty is good to have around when we need rest and relaxation. This stone is beneficial to those who are extremely sensitive to the thoughts and energies of others.

The energy of blue calcite surrounds us with an enveloping and protective blue spiritual light which allows us to gently drift out of our bodies. This applies particularly when we go astral journeying. During those out of body experiences, blue calcite prevents negative or unpleasant energies from entering in. Blue Calcite helps those with a defeatist attitude.

Creative folks can benefit by having blue calcite around because it stimulates inspiration. Creative ideas, inspiration and aha moments happen as a result of blue calcite opening us up the unconscious realms.

Being a stone associated with our throat chakra, it clears that chakra and enables us to express ourselves well through words, music and art. Place Blue Calcite on the throat chakra to discourage dissent and encourage clear communication. Blue calcite makes us aware of our thoughts and words (including unspoken ones) and how much they do impact our thinking and our life.

Also a stone for our third eye, blue calcite removes blockages in our 6th chakra and stimulates our intuitive and psychic abilities. It enhances inner vision, clairvoyance, telepathy and long distance communication.
