About the Mineral: Mangano Calcite

Mangano Calcite is a very special variety of calcite (not the same as pink calcite) that contains a certain amount of the element Manganese, thus its pink color. For relationships of any kind to be equally fulfilling and healthy, there has to be a balanced energetic dynamic between giving and receiving so that each individual’s needs are met. Mangano Calcite, with its sweet vibrations, helps with achieving this harmonious exchange. Just like Rose Quartz, Mangano Calcite helps with accepting and removing any conditioning around the notion that self-love means being selfish. It serves as a loving reminder to honor personal boundaries and make sure they are being respected. “Loving” another is never to come at the expense of yourself.

Manganoan Calcite supports emotional healing, self-compassion, and gentleness. It’s a stone that quiets the nervous system and nurtures inner tenderness, making it ideal for times of grief, burnout, or when deep rest is needed.
