Calcite is a stone of many colors. It ranges from ice-clear optical calcite, to pastel sherbet shades of orange, yellow, pink, and blue. Blue calcite is particularly popular among crystal healers and practitioners of magic, and for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Blue Calcite<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Calcite is a form of calcium carbonate. It shares a lot of physical properties with aragonite<\/a>, but forms differently. In fact, there are roughly 800 different observed forms of calcite, ranging from pyramids and prisms to rhombohedrons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some living things, including trilobites, incorporated calcite in their biological structures. A phenomenon known as “brain sand” or corpus arenacea occurs in humans. <\/p>\n\n\n

Over time, small deposits of calcium carbonate can form in brain tissue. These are a generally harmless sign of aging, and their function in the brain is not yet known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While calcite is abundant, blue calcite is found only in a few places on Earth, including Mexico and South Africa. It gets its color from impurities within the stone, which can vary depending on the location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue calcite’s color can range from a very light blue gray, to a deeper, more intense blue reminiscent of a cloud-streaked sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
