CALCITE comes in more colors and
crystal shapes than it is possible for me to describe. Calcite is found nearly everywhere. This is a link to the Wikipedia description:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcite
Metaphysically, Calcite increases and amplifies energy. It can also be helpful in astral travel and in channeling, as well as with increasing intuition. All calcites are helpful in lessening of fear and reducing stress. Calcite is a protecting, purifying, grounding and centering stone, and can help bring inner peace. It also increases creativity, imagination, and prosperity. Calcite is also a stone of spirituality, wisdom and reconciliation. Calcite of different colors is great for using to open and balance the various chakras. Physically, calcites can heal back pain, increase physical strength, heal teeth, and are generally good for healing.
Green calcites help overcome addictions, heal joints, bones, kidney, bladder, the endocrine system, and relieve pain. Green calcite also helps with manifestation, abundance, and intuition. Blue calcite is particularly good for channeling and increasing energy. Yellow calcite is also particularly good for Shamanic work, meditation, channeling, intuition, and amplifying energy. Orange calcite reduces chronic fatigue, and increases psychic abilities. Red calcite brings courage and inner strength and energy to handle survival situations, and benefits sensuality/sexuality. Honey calcite is also very good for increasing energy. Optical calcite is beneficial for headaches. Pink calcite (manganocalcite) is a stone of love and amplifies Reiki and other universal life force energies. Blue calcite is a good stone for those needing to relax more or those recovering from an illness. It helps to soothe our nerves and can help us to let go of anxiety. Pineapple calcite clears the mind and gives one easier access to inner wisdom. Crystal ice calcite is used for clearing negativity from the environment, such as a room, and white calcite is a very powerful calcite that activates and cleanses the energetic field by clearing blockages and allowing for the freer movement of energy. It connects the soul and the Higher Self with the physical aspect of the self through the Light body and the nervous system.

An Interesting fact about the Mexican Calcites:
They are very delicate when they come out of the ground. To keep them from crumbling into tiny pieces, they are quickly dipped in muriatic acid. The acid not only burns off some of the rough crust, but it causes the crystals to meld together so you can have a nice, solid display piece. It also gives the piece the beautiful polished appearance.

The base of the piece is a dull, olive green. then there is a stripe of burgundy with clear quartz-like calcite on top. Next is a band of dark peach and white, topped by a band of black. In the center of the peach and white stripe is a narrow stripe of three lines of white - looks like onyx (only it isn't) Next is a stripe of clear quartz-like calcite and finally, the top stripe is dark peach. As you can see by the photos, on one side the final dark peach stripe is much larger than on the other side, but then the green is larger on the opposite side.

It's gorgeous and a MUST for a calcite collector. It measures 5.25 x 3.5 x 3" and weighs 3 pounds, 7 ounces. It will stand with support behind, but I like the natural pose with the dark peach at the bottom and the green facing up.
