Rough Calcite, Green - Size Small

Description:

Each piece of this rough green calcite is approximately 1/2" - 2" in size. 

Rock/Mineral Info:

Green calcite is a carbonate mineral known for its beautiful green coloration, which is caused by trace inclusions of minerals like iron or manganese. Many of the different calcite colors grow together in limestone deposits; upon being mined, they are sorted by color and brought to the wider crystal market. Calcites are relatively soft, scoring a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale, and as such can be scratched easily by harder substances. 

Metaphysical Properties:

Green calcite is associated with balance, love, and protection from negative energy. It is connected primarily with the heart chakra.
