Product Description
Calcite White Tumbled Stone Grade A .5"-.75"
Mineral Information:
White calcite is a common form of the mineral calcite, which is a carbonate mineral that occurs in a variety of colors and crystal shapes. As its name suggests, white calcite is typically white or creamy in color, and can be translucent or opaque.
White calcite is often found in sedimentary rocks, and can also form in hydrothermal veins, metamorphic rocks, and as a product of the decomposition of organic matter. It is composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and has a Mohs hardness of 3, making it a relatively soft mineral.
White calcite is often used as a decorative stone in carvings, sculptures, and architectural elements, and is also used in the production of lime and cement.
Mineral Care:
White calcite is a relatively soft mineral, with a Mohs hardness of 3, which means that it can be easily scratched or damaged by harder materials. This makes it relatively fragile compared to some other minerals, such as quartz, which has a Mohs hardness of 7.
White calcite is also sensitive to acid, and can be dissolved or damaged by exposure to acidic substances such as vinegar or lemon juice. This can cause the surface of the calcite to become pitted or etched, and may even lead to the complete dissolution of the mineral over time.
In general, white calcite should be handled with care to avoid scratching or chipping, and should be kept away from acidic substances to avoid damage to its surface. It is also important to avoid exposing white calcite to extreme temperatures, as rapid changes in temperature can cause it to crack or break.
Metaphysical Properties:
White Calcite is used as a purification stone, and has purification and cleansing properties. It helps aid mental clarity and focus, which assist in developing more concentration. It helps improve memory. It is a good stone for spiritual development and growth. It is also used for clearing worries and doubts to help balance emotions and restore inner peace.
