Calcite is a common and widely distributed mineral. It is a rock-forming mineral that is a major constituent in calcareous sedimentary rocks (limestone) and metamorphic rocks (marble). It may be precipitated directly from seawater and it forms the shells of many living organisms, which on death accumulate to form limestone. In areas of hot springs it is deposited as travertine or tufa, and stalactites and stalagmites of calcite are common in caves of limestone.
Calcite is the biggest cleanser of negative stored energies within the human system. Its vast array of colours works on all areas of the body and aura, from the gross physical to the finest layers of the etheric.
