SPECIMEN — Translucent and glassy lavender calcite specimen from this newly discovered locale in a heart-like bitterly formation. This is a really special piece…I had to resist keeping it myself.

Geologists and metaphysical crystal people both lost their minds when this pocket, known for calcite, produced some of the most lustrous and unique specimens of purple lilac calcite, the rarest color to find calcite in. This calcite is different from any other calcite I have encountered. I actually had to confirm that these specimens hadn’t been polished. Balmat calcite is that perfect.

LOCALE — Empire State Zinc Mine, Mine #4 390 Level, Balmat, New York, U.S.A.

ABOUT CALCITE: The energetic behavior of calcite is dissolving and transforming, which is why I have nicknamed this mineral family “The Erasers”. Calcite is the crystal equivalent of an exfoliator in skincare. It removes layers of old energetic debris, offering a fresh surface to condition and build upon.

Calcite + color = absolving and removal of blocks associated with that color

Calcite comes in many varieties and shapes, both opaque and translucent. This optical clear variety (referred to also as Iceland spar, though most of it these days comes from places other than Iceland), initiates perspective shifts as you work on freeing yourself from the restrictions that have prevented healthy forward momentum. When you are struggling to comprehend the meaning or purpose of something that is transpiring in your life, calcite provides a spiritual 360 to give you an enlightened understanding of why this is happening.

The clear variety can be used on any chakra just like clear quartz. For a more specific and concentrated effect, you can use the color variety of calcite that corresponds with the chakra you want to address. As my teacher, Katrina Raphaell writes in her book The Crystalline Transmission: “Whenever a mineral has the capacity to reflect a variety of color frequency it is evident that the crystal also has the ability to serve many functions as it synchronizes its energy to the color vibrations of the different chakras.”

The variety of calcite shaped like a rhomboid is one of my personal favorites. In my own collection, I have a piece in every color, including the ultra-rare lavender. Atomically these crystals are made of rhomboid-shaped molecular patterns so if you drop a piece it breaks off in the same shape because a big piece is just made of many tiny little rhomboids. This stone is one of the amazing examples of the geometric perfection that can be found naturally birthed by the Earth.
