Properties of Calcite
Known as the great dissolver, Calcite dissolves emotional blockages. It is especially useful when we are grieving because it helps us let go of our pain. It gently clears away old memories that no longer serve us while preventing us from dwelling on them. Calcite also has a positive influence on our mind/body connection, providing an inner calm that reduces stress. Finally, calcite is known as a stone of clarity; holding it will help increase concentration and mental acuity, which makes it ideal for studying or working long hours at your desk.
Calcite is among the most reactive stones and are helpful to bring quick effect for relatively acute manifestations of chronic conditions. Their Yang nature particularly affects the Yang organs of Stomach and Heart. Calcite increases absorption for the bones or dissolves calcification through chelation, depending on placements, combinations and length of treatment.

It helps you find your way in confusing situations and cuts through dense material so you can see things as they are. If a friend or family member is going through a difficult situation, Marcasite will help them see things clearly so they’re empowered to make changes that will improve their life. The straightforwardness of Marcasite brings clarity of purpose to projects, plans and decisions.

Get the Most out of Your Stone
To get the most out of your stones, it is important to cleanse them regularly. You can cleanse your stones in a variety of ways. One of the quickest being to place your stones on a Selenite plate. Selenite is a self cleansing stone that cleanses any other stone it comes into contact with. You can also cleanse your crystals using a method called smudging. This process involves burning sage to release negative energy, which helps prepare your crystals for use in crystal healing. Also called smoke cleansing, smudging with sage is an ancient form of ceremony that has been practiced by shamans and healers for centuries. Another great way to cleanse your crystals is to set them on the Earth underneath the light of the full moon.
