It crystallizes in many varieties and colours, ranging from the optically clear (Iceland Spar) to vivid blues, oranges, greens, and pinks depending on trace minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn crystal tradition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn crystal tradition, blue calcite is associated with the throat chakra and is long-valued as a calming stone — believed to support gentle communication, relaxation, and clear expression. Often kept in bedroom and meditation spaces, or carried as a touchstone for moments of overwhelm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalcite is a soft stone (Mohs hardness 3) — handle gently, avoid drops, and keep away from harder crystals that could scratch it. Cleanse with sound, smoke, or moonlight rather than salt or extended water exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEach piece is one of a kind. Natural variations in colour, shape, size, and pattern are part of what makes the stone what it is — the photograph shows a representative example, your piece will look slightly different.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CR Crystals","offers":[{"title":"$30","offer_id":34997791359133,"sku":"cc378","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"$25 each","offer_id":37756746989725,"sku":"cc378","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/0012\/products\/image-asset.jpg?v=1590797726","url":"https:\/\/www.alternity.ca\/products\/blue-calcite-raw-pieces","provider":"Alternity","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
