Care & Cleaning
Calcite is a soft, fragile stone with a mild, uplifting energy. Due to its chemical composition (lime), it is very sensitive to water, acids, and even skin oils or sweat. Careful, dry handling is necessary to keep the stone beautiful.
- Cleaning: ⚠️ Note: Calcite should not come into prolonged contact with water. The stone can become dull or lose its luster. The safest way to discharge it is by means of smoke (Palo Santo or white sage) or by placing the stone overnight on a bed of Hematite chips.
- Charging: This stone loves gentle energy. Preferably place it in the light of the full moon. A bed of Rock Crystal chips is a safe and fine way to charge it. Because this stone is sensitive to moisture, a Selenite charging plate is the safest and most effective way to deeply cleanse its energy and fully recharge it.
- ⚠️ Note: Do not place Calcite in direct sunlight. The color (especially for the orange and yellow varieties) can fade due to UV radiation, and the stone can become brittle or even crack due to the heat.
