“The Assimilator”

ENERGY: Soothing, Easing, Supportive, Confidence Boosting

FOCUS: Assimilate to physical reality with spiritual direction and clarity / Good for adjusting to new situations and soothing one during turbulent times/ Removal of fear blockages that prevent manifestation and that are rooted in scarcity mentality

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 failing to comprehend the meaning or purpose of something that is transpiring in your life, calcite provides a spiritual 360 to give you 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.

ABOUT MANIFESTATION: Successful manifestation happens when your subconscious beliefs support your intentions, you take aligned action, and trust the process. Yellow and gold stones support the behavioral part of the manifestation equation (the other part are stones that support mental cognition in conjunction with spiritual practices and that fall in the purple/indigo range). They resonate with the third (solar) chakra, often called "the seat of personal power", because it is where we energetically project our self-beliefs and consequently our self-esteem. Our ability to act confidently and from a place of high value so that we can experience a prosperous existence is linked to our third chakra. If we are struggling with this, we can work with yellow and gold stones to change the ways we are channeling and directing our energy to match the new beliefs we choose to reprogram our brains with.

The energy of yellow/gold stones are productive, motivating, determined, willful, efficient, uplifting, sunny, warm, and abundant.
