Hand-selected from Mahajanga, Madagascar. Worth knowing: a lot of the orange calcite on the market is dyed. What we carry is natural and untreated.
It's soft (Mohs 2.5-3), so handle it with a little care, keep it dry, and store it in its own pouch so harder stones don't scratch it.
Calcite varieties have been recognized for centuries.
Orange calcite has long been used in practices around a quiet sense of renewal and making space for new ideas. It's traditionally linked to the sacral chakra. If that resonates, keep one nearby when you're making something with your hands. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
