In general calcite is a powerful amplifier of energy. Calcite is probably the premier cleanser of stored negative energies in the human system and works on all levels from the physical to the etheric. It can also be used to clear negativity in the environment, such as a room that it’s in. All of the calcites are good for reducing fear and stress.
Calcite is one of the most common minerals on the face of the Earth, comprising about 4% by weight of the Earth’s crust. It is a sedimentary mineral that forms from the accumulation of marine organisms such as shells and coral and is a primary mineral component in cave formations. It is a carbonate mineral with the chemical formula CaCO3 and is formed with a hexagonal crystal system. Calcite is vitreous in appearance and can occur in a range of colors, including blue, green, red, and brown.
Calcite is used in many applications, including in construction materials, as a fertilizer, and in the production of cement and lime.

Ancient texts speak of a magical crystal that was used by the Vikings, known as “Viking Sunstone”, to locate the sun even when it was obstructed from view. To do so, the Vikings would have had to hold the stone up toward the center of the sky and once the sunlight hit the crystal, the light would be polarized and broken into an ordinary and extraordinary beam. Research found at a wreckage discovered in 1977 near the Channel Islands suggests that this magic stone may actually be Iceland Spar. Though no known Iceland Spar has been found in any Viking settlements, the crystal has been recovered from what remains of the shipwreck of the Alderney which was an Elizabethan warship that sank in 1592. Among the crystal, navigation dividers were also discovered close by, leading researchers to believe that it had been used as another navigational tool.
