Calcite - Pink
Tumbled Pink Calcite with nice striations. These are what I would call a large size in that most are 1" (with some larger or longer). Have a pleasing soft pink coloring.
Take Note: Calcite is a 'soft' gemstone. These will get scratched or a scuffed finish if carried with other harder gems in your pocket. They need to 'travel' alone.
Price: $3.50

Crystal System... These beautiful pink shades are mainly found in Brazil and India. Their prominent banding has come from changes in their sedimentary formation process. The white bands are from quickly crystalized deposits high in calcium, while the almost clear, pink tinted bands formed in a much slower manner with the minute parts of manganese which results in their translucent appearance. The slower formation has also added to a more stable formation of the crystal which allows for this type to be polished to a high gloss. |

Zodiac Affinity... Folklore... There is some literature that suggests placing a piece under a quartz pyramid for a short time to amplify the Calcite's abilities. While I have not experimented with this, it would seem that it would work since Quartz does amplify the energy of any stone it is placed with. Although, if I were to super charge something, I think using a Quartz point or generator may be more focused. |
