These tumbled stones come from Ancash, Peru. It's soft (Mohs 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. Worth knowing: a lot of the mangano calcite on the market is dyed. What we carry is natural and untreated.
Mangano calcite has long been used in practices around working through difficult feelings at your own pace, coming back to yourself with kindness, and opening to connection, with yourself and others. It's traditionally linked to the heart chakra. If that resonates, keep it nearby during quiet moments or by the bed for rest. 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.
