Rough Blue Calcite Crystal

Calcite is one of those crystals that sometimes gets overlooked because it is so common, but really, it is kinda awesome. For instance, the name “calcite” comes from the Latin calx, meaning lime. No, not the kind you put in your Corona. We are talking about limestone. Calcite is a primary component of limestone, so you will often find them together. Blue calcite gets its color from tiny amounts of other elements hanging out in the crystal, like cobalt, copper, or iron. It is like an element party, but instead of a trashed house, you get a gorgeous shade of blue. These crystals have a light blue core with almost frosty-looking edges. They remind us of an ancient glacier or a piece of heaven fallen to earth. That last one might be a little dramatic, but the imagery sticks with us. As mentioned before, calcite is all over the place. It is found in several locations around the world, including Mexico, South Africa, and the United States. Sure, you could call it common, but if millions of years of heat and pressure combining to create a celestial glue crystal is common, then common is pretty fascinating. According to metaphysics, Blue Calcite brings confidence and integrity to our spiritual life. It helps us articulate our beliefs to ourselves and others and engage in behaviors that support our faith. It is particularly helpful for spiritual practices that involve deep or rhythmic breathing, such as yoga, meditation, and singing. All minerals and stones vary in size and shape.
