Calcite Crystals and Calcite Jewellery

The name calcite comes from the Greek word chalx, which means lime. Some calcite crystals take on an iridescent quality and calcite can be transparent, translucent or opaque. Other than quartz, calcite is one of the most widely found crystals in the world. It's got a long history, and was even used on the throne in the Tomb of Tutankhamun.

As a whole, the energy of calcite is healing and clearing and as such can be used a tool for work with clearing. In particular, it's useful for chakra work, as it can help aid the chakra clearing process and open up the energy centres. It's often referred as being a powerful energy amplifier and can be used for astral travel, channelling and meditation.
