Yellow 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. It is also sensitive to acid, and can be dissolved or damaged by exposure to acidic substances such as vinegar or lemon juice.
Yellow calcite is commonly used in lapidary and jewelry making, and is also valued for its metaphysical properties.
Mineral Care:
Yellow calcite is a relatively soft mineral, with a Mohs hardness of 3, which means that it is not particularly durable or resistant to scratching. This makes it relatively fragile, and it can be easily damaged or scratched by harder materials.
In addition to being soft, yellow calcite is also sensitive to acid, and can be dissolved or damaged by exposure to acidic substances such as vinegar or lemon juice. This means that it is important to handle yellow calcite with care and to avoid exposing it to acidic environments.
Because of its fragility, yellow calcite is not recommended for use in high-impact settings, such as in jewelry that will be worn daily or subjected to rough handling. However, it can be safely used in decorative objects or in jewelry that will be worn occasionally and handled with care.
Metaphysical Properties:
Yellow Calcite is associated with the solar plexus chakra, which is associated with personal power, confidence, and self-esteem. It helps individuals recognize their own strengths and abilities and to feel more capable and empowered. It is a good stone for enhancing mental clarity and focus and aids in reducing stress and anxiety.
