What is Caribbean Calcite?
Caribbean Calcite is a variety of calcite, a calcium carbonate mineral known for its soft turquoise, aqua and creamy white colouring. Its ocean like appearance may come from natural mineral inclusions, veining and layered formations.
Like other calcites, Caribbean Calcite is relatively soft and should be handled with care. Its dreamy blue green tones often appear with white calcite matrix, creating a clouded sea like effect within each piece.
In crystal collections, Caribbean Calcite is treasured for its calming beauty, peaceful energy and strong association with rest, communication and emotional renewal.
