About this Particular Crystal

Geologists, collectors, and metaphysical crystal practitioners alike were stunned when this pocket of the Empire State Zinc Mine in Balmat yielded some of the most lustrous and unique specimens of purple lilac calcite. This lavender-toned variety is the rarest color found in the calcite family and quickly became a collector favorite due to its unusual hue, remarkable clarity, and glassy, unpolished finish.

This small lavender calcite rhomboid features a soft lilac color, exceptional luster, and a naturally smooth surface that looks polished but is completely raw. It is visually and energetically refined, making it ideal for meditation, energetic clearing, and spiritual connection. Use this crystal on the third eye during reflection or spiritual work to support intuitive clarity, emotional release, and expanded perception.

About the Mineral: Calcite

Calcite is one of the most versatile and energetically dynamic minerals, known for its ability to dissolve stagnant energy and support transformational healing. I often refer to calcite as “The Eraser” because of how effectively it clears energetic debris and helps create space for new insights, emotions, and growth. Think of it as the exfoliator of the crystal world. It removes old patterns so a fresh, aligned layer can emerge.

Calcite’s energy becomes more targeted when paired with color. Each hue corresponds to a chakra or emotional theme, and calcite works by dissolving the specific blocks associated with that frequency. For example, blue calcite soothes communication, green calcite helps shift outdated mental conditioning, and pink calcite removes emotional debris. The clear variety, sometimes called optical calcite or Iceland spar, works with any chakra. It is particularly helpful in creating new perspectives, bringing clarity and higher understanding. It helps you access a 360-degree spiritual view when you are navigating confusion or change.

Calcite occurs in many formations and textures, from opaque masses to sharp, translucent crystals. One of the most beautiful expressions of calcite is the rhomboid shape. These crystals are built on a rhombohedral molecular structure, which means that when they break, they continue to fragment into smaller rhomboids. It is a striking example of Earth’s natural geometry. Rhomboid calcites feel especially precise in their energy and are powerful tools for removing stuckness in a clear, targeted way.

Whether used for meditation, chakra work, or energetic clearing, calcite is a reliable and intelligent mineral that supports both spiritual insight and emotional release. Its diversity makes it an essential part of any crystal collection, especially for those doing inner work or navigating transition.
