Black Calcite - 30g to 40g *
Lovely natural pieces of Black Calcite, weighing between 30g and 40g. For an example of size, see the piece in my hand.
We have a number of these pieces and they are very hard to tell apart. They are handpicked and all pass Sue's quality test, but since they are natural stones there will be some variation in appearance. You may not receive the item in the photograph.
Calcite is a common mineral, found in many environments worldwide. Calcite is the main mineral that makes stalagmites and stalactites. It is found in a wonderful range of colours including orange, green, blue, aqua, honey, rosey red and occasionally black.
Although Calcite works as deep and profound levels, it ‘comes in gently’ and can be easier to work with than some other minerals. For this reason I often recommend it for children, and there are 3 Calcites in the Good Night Baby set.
Calcite is a soft mineral, and is seldom made into jewellery. It is easily scratched by other crystals and coins in purses and pockets, so you need to treat it with care. It is good to incorporate in a charm for a child's bedroom.
