About This Orange Calcite

Orange Calcite is part of the carbonate family.

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.

Traditionally Used For

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.

Care and Use

Sensitivity High

Orange Calcite sits at 2.5-3 on the Mohs scale, among the softest stones we carry, so handle it gently and keep it dry. Long soaks dull the surface, so keep any water contact brief and dry it fully.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

What does AA grade mean?

Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
