Calcite, which appears in all colors and levels of clarity, has a truly fascinating history. It has been used as building and carving material for thousands of years by many groups of people, including the Romans and Egyptians. Nearly all Ancient Egyptian ‘alabaster’ carvings are actually made of yellow calcite – including the famous Sphinx. Calcite has the fascinating ability to bend light in what is called a double refraction, and was even used by the Vikings to locate the sun through cloud coverings by holding the stone up to the sky, thus allowing them to navigate the seas during a storm.
This particular type of Calcite is a grounding and centering stone that brings stability, making it ideal for assisting in meditation and focus. It is also considered a stone of manifestation because of it’s ability to support and develop nearly all areas of life. It promotes success, prosperity, business, and fertility. Additionally it is known to aid in gardening and does this best when placed in the garden.
