Pink Calcite Mangano

One Pink Calcite Mangano Tumbled Stone Color: pink Chakra(s): heart About the stone: Pink Calcite is calcium carbonate crystallizing in the rhombohedral system. If not colored by cobalt (see Cobaltoan Calcite), it is often colored by manganese; these varieties can be called manganocalcite or manganoan calcite, especially when banded. Specimens may exhibit rhombohedral crystals and vary from transparent to opaque. Astrological sign(s): Taurus Planet(s): Venus  The soothing cotton-candy shade of pink calcite mangano helps you align with the Divine Mother, the highest form of motherly love. The Divine feminine is within everyone regardless of gender.  Hold this stone when you are focusing on positive, uplifting thoughts about yourself and others.  Pink calcite mangano activates the opening of your heart chakra so that you can release prior feelings of hurt or fear. Keeping this stone can assuage feelings of anger and frustration. It is also a good stone for children who cry or whine often. Give one to a grumpy friend and watch his or her energy transform.  Excerpted from The Essential Guide to Crystals, Minerals, and Stones (Llewellyn. 2013) by Margaret Ann Lembo
