We find calcite in different forms and various colors. Calcite is mainly composed of calcium carbonate. Thus, it is present in many living beings (such as shells or corals) or in the skeletons of all vertebrates. It is therefore found in multiple rocks.

Calcite is surprising mainly because of all the appearances it can take. It can be colored, transparent, in the form of crystals or in a compact and rather white form such as marble. It is its presence in many rocks that gives it all these different aspects.

A single mineral with so many varied profiles attracts the attention of scientists. JB Romée de l'Isle (18th century) counted 26 varieties, then Abbot René Just Haüy (19th century) identified 112. Then the Count of Bournon (19th century) wrote two complete books on 800 varieties of calcite. It was then decided to classify them according to their appearance:

• the crystallized form;

• the fibrous form (like stalactites);

• the saccharide form (like sugar);

• the earthy form (like chalk);

• the compact form (the most widespread, entire mountains such as those of the Jura).

All the morphologies of this calcite stone are explained by their presence in rocks of very different constitutions, such as those of sedimentary origin, those of magmatic or metamorphic origin.

In its raw appearance, calcite is white or transparent. In fact, it is small mineralogical differences or various inclusions that give calcites their color (yellow, orange, blue, green, etc.).

Calcite has special characteristics such as fluorescence or birefringence (allows you to see things twice through a calcite crystal).

Its name comes from the Latin “calx”, meaning burnt lime or calcined stone. From the 19th century, the term calcite refers to the mineral known today. France will long keep the name “carbonated lime”.

There are no particular legends or myths about calcite. We have only found traces of it through various civilizations. There are so many varieties that it could very well have been confused with other fine stones linked to mythologies.

Egypt and ancient civilizations used colored calcite in the creation of statuettes and ornamental objects. At that time, white calcite was called “Egyptian alabaster” or “calcareous alabaster”. From a simple vase to the construction of the pyramids, this noble stone was used for these various creations.

In ancient Rome, the Romans also used it as marble.

In the 17th century, enormous progress was made in mineralogy. Thus, the Swede Johan Gottschalk Wallerius (1709-1785) evoked a very precise description of a calcite of very high purity, Iceland spar. He became the first to highlight the characteristics of this crystal, namely phosphorescence and birefringence.

Green calcite gets its wonderful color due to the presence of nickel impurities.

The main deposits are in Mexico, the United States, Brazil, etc.

Green calcite is a stone full of freshness. Thanks to it, the world seems filled with love. This stone allows you to free yourself from the burdens of the past that prevent you from moving forward, thus causing well-being of the mind. In addition, it stimulates intuition and intensifies memory. It soothes tensions generated by anger.

It is a stone that stabilizes, that delivers mental calm, while giving faculties of discernment and analysis. It calms the thoughts that swarm within the mind. Green calcite substitutes serenity for stress, stimulates those who prefer to give up fighting and gives them back motivation. It is the stone to take stock of deep desires and generate the passage to action.

During conflicts within the family, professional or friendly circle, this stone helps to put tensions into perspective and defuse them. Green calcite provides gentleness and peace and gives more flexibility to people who are too rigid. It is a mineral of letting go.

Green calcite is a link between emotions and intellect. Thus, it promotes the externalization of negative or positive emotions. It encourages us to sort out the useless and the indispensable in our lives, encouraging communication. It is a natural stone that is a source of balance, peaceful vision and enlightened determination.
