, POWER & BENEFITS OF CALCITE:

Calcite connects emotions with intellect, facilitating emotional intelligence and has a positive effect, especially when someone has lost hope. It calms the mind, stimulates insights, and boosts memory. It is beneficial for study, motivation, laziness, revitalization, and emotional stress.

This is a honey colored "beam calcite" crystal cluster that's part of a new find from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. This specimen is 3.7" long and has a golden-yellow coloration with some edges containing dark brown coloration. 

Calcite crystals are a form of calcium carbonate known for their diverse shapes, transparency, and vibrant range of colors. They typically form in rhombohedral, scalenohedral, or prismatic shapes, often with well-defined, sharp edges and glossy surfaces. Calcite Crystals are often translucent or transparent, sometimes displaying a double refraction effect where objects viewed through the crystal appear doubled. They can appear in various colors—white, clear, yellow, pink, blue, green, and orange—depending on impurities or trace minerals.

A notable characteristic of calcite is its reaction with weak acids like vinegar, which causes it to effervesce, or fizz, as it releases carbon dioxide. This property makes calcite crystals a key tool in geological identification and studies. Calcite forms in many environments, from sedimentary rocks like limestone and marble to hydrothermal veins.
