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, Blue Calcite, is known as the stone of relaxation. It has a tremendous calming effect and soothes emotions. This makes it great for anxiety relief and stress management.
Blue Calcite is also known for its ability to enhance and strengthen one’s dream life. It offers increased vividness and understanding of dreams as well as the imagery within them. Place the stone in the bedroom near your pillow to best access these benefits.
