Calcite ~ Essential Crystals

Blog originally posted 6 Feb 2014.

Can’t believe this is one of the first blogs I wrote and that was TEN YEARS AGO! Only realised this when feeling the intuitive nudge to update this blog recently and share some beautiful new Calcite stock. It was a lovely shock to see the original date from 2014! WOW! Life moves in mysterious ways and it’s FABULOUS 🙂

Calcite is a carbonate mineral that starts off as Aragonite, but turns to Calcite when heated to between 380-470C by volcanic activity.

In my experience, on an energetic level, Calcite is one of the most beautiful crystals in the Mineral Kingdom. There are many different colours of Calcite, but as a generalisation, the energy of any Calcite is supportive, strengthening and comforting. When we’re drawn to a piece, we know its going to do its job.

Many overlook Calcite in an effort to find rarer, more impressive looking crystals. Calcite is amazing however…..each colour creates a completely different vibration that seems to penetrate deep into our energetic bodies on ALL levels. Calcite stabilises energy waves, which is absolutely essential for anyone working with Universal, spiritual, 5D, Quantum or any form of energetic practice. Given everything is energy ~ it’s a gift to have a mineral that allows our energy to move and flow, without impeding it or grounding it too much – without expanding it and taking us too high. If you imagine a frayed hair where you would lick your fingers and run it down the length of hair to smooth it down, that is what Calcite does for our energy system.

The largest documented piece of calcite originated in Iceland and measured 7×7×2 m and weighed about 250 tons!! Calcite rich seas are part of our planet’s documented history. Calcite feels very slippery and tactile. The below picture is of a cave so huge, it has its own weather system! There is a massive Calcite boss that dwarves the man below.

A general, quick guide to the metaphysical properties of different coloured Calcites:

Clear/Optical Calcite: Spiritual growth, vision, seeing through deception by self & others, clarity, channelling

Pink/Mangano Calcite:  Heart, healing deep emotional wounds, loss, grief, broken relationships, heart surgery, emotional upset or upheaval.

Blue Calcite: Throat, neck, communication, speaking our truth, respiratory system, recuperation, cleansing, clears the mind.

Orange Calcite: Solar Plexus, happiness, self confidence, mood enhancing, fibro myalgia, CFS, SAD, trusting ourselves & the bigger picture.

Green Calcite: Reveals root cause for anger related disease, liver, renal system, releasing old patterns, cleansing, soothing after trauma.

Honey Calcite: Solar Plexus, self confidence, self esteem, creativity, manifestation, trusting ourselves & the bigger picture.

Calcite is so easy to work with. It can be placed in our pockets or under a pillow. Its not an expensive crystal and I’ve got a few Orange Calcite crystal t-light holders, which are amazing on dark winter nights. Just looking at them raises mood and energy levels.

I use Green & Blue Calcite in the bath on a regular basis. Calcite can’t be left in water, but it can be popped in the bath, even with bath bubbles or oils as they simply wash off afterward. I highly recommend a Calcite and Epsom Salt bath any time you’re feeling low, down, tired, physically aching, fatigued or just fed up!  Blue & Green Calcite in a bath feels like an energetic cleanse and is soothing and rejuvenating. You’ll feel very calm, stable and at ease after an Epsom/Calcite bath. If you struggle with sleep, spend thirty mins in the bath as hot as you can take it ~ around 8.30-9pm at night ~ just relaxing and soaking up whatever your body needs. No cleaning/washing etc. Then move straight into bed afterwards with no screens or electronics and see how deeply you sleep that night. The skin is our biggest organ and will soak up all the energetic goodness of the Calcites along with the Magnesium from the salts. Feels blissful!

Honey and Orange Calcite are both great for creativity and keeping a positive outlook on life. I use small chips in crystal grids and manifestation work all the time. A wonderful energy to work with for personal power and any part of the ‘Self’ you’d like to boost: self awareness, self trust, self esteem, self confidence etc. Clear Calcite or Icelandic Spar is SO cool to work with on a channelling level. Pop a piece in front of you and get to work…… inspiration, our intuition and creative energy just flows. Mangano Calcite (Pink) is simply beautiful. It holds my heart stable and emotions strong regardless of what life throws. I gave a large, crystal Mangano Calcite heart to my grandmother when she underwent heart surgery and she kept it with her & used it often…….until it was returned to me when she passed. I still reach for it now when needing some emotional strength.

If you haven’t worked with calcite yet, please do so. You won’t regret it 🙂

Much Love

  1. So I’m confused. You said calcite can’t be left in water, but can be put in a bath. That’s kind of contradictory. If I put my calcite in my bath for an hour will it be fone or will it dissolve? Also should I dry it with a towel, if I can put it in a bath, or let it air dry?

      Hi Maria ~ great question & apologies for any confusion. Many people will leave crystals in a water or salt water bath overnight. That’s not advisable with Calcite. However, rough, natural, stable chunks in the bath for a short period of time are absolutely fine. I wouldn’t put clear, white or any delicate formations of calcite in the bath however. Only the rough, natural, chunky coloured pieces such as blue, pink, orange, red or green.

      I’ve used both blue & green in my baths for many years, along with oils & epsom salts and never had a problem. Just wash with fresh water afterwards and allow to dry and recharge in natural sunlight for half an hour.
      With Bright blessings, Krissy
