Geology: Calcite commonly crystallizes when calcium-rich hydrothermal fluids move through openings in host rock and deposit calcium carbonate. Intergrown crystal faces record repeated stages of mineral growth within that open space.
Care: Calcite is relatively soft (Mohs 3). Handle gently; avoid impacts, acids, ultrasonic cleaners and household chemicals. Dust with a soft dry brush only.
Metaphysical note: In spiritual traditions, calcite is associated with clarity, grounded focus and motivation. These are beliefs only and are not scientific or medical claims.
