Green Calcite has a trigonal cystal system and is in the mineral class of carbonate. It is formed from solutions containing calcium through sedimentation. Its lovely emerald green coloring comes from chlorite that has been trapped in the mix while it has crystallized. Generally, the Chlorite has been “well stirred” into the mix and is not predominate as in chlorite in Quartz.

The beautiful, emerald green shades are found in Canada and Australia. To an unfamiliar eye, it can be mistaken for green Fluorite. But unlike Flourite’s hard and shiney finish, Green Calcite, as in most Calcites, has a lustery, appearing almost wet, look.

All natural rough Green Calcite healing crystals. Green Calcite aids in self-discovery and in accepting ourselves and others as we are.

Most are a lovely emerald green and are 1 inch and larger in size.

Take Note: Calcite is a ‘soft’ gemstone. These will get scratched or a scuffed finish if carried with other harder gems in your pocket. They need to ‘travel’ alone.
