___
Optical Calcite, also known as Iceland Spar, is the queen of seeing through the BS—both external and internal. With its glassy transparency and natural double refraction (yes, it literally splits light into two beams), this high-vibe beauty is all about truth, clarity, and energetic cleansing. Think of it as your spiritual windscreen wiper, clearing foggy thinking and making space for aligned action.
This is the stone you want when you’re deep in introspection, cutting cords, or craving a crystal-clear perspective on where you’re at and where you’re headed. It doesn’t sugar-coat. It reflects—truthfully and powerfully.
Metaphysical Properties:
Resonating with both the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, Optical Calcite supercharges your intuition, heightens clarity, and connects you with divine downloads. It helps remove energetic blockages, especially mental ones, making it perfect for journaling, meditation, or planning your next big move.
Its amplifying nature makes it a must-have in any crystal toolkit—it can boost the energy of other stones, purify your space, and level up your spiritual practice.
Emotional & Spiritual Benefits:
- Enhances mental clarity and decision-making
- lears stagnant energy and dissolves limiting beliefs
- Amplifies intention-setting, visualisation, and manifestation
- Helps align thoughts with truth and higher consciousness
- Perfect for psychic work, aura reading, or connecting to spirit guides
Scientific Fun Fact:
Optical Calcite is a form of clear Calcium Carbonate with an insane optical quality: birefringence, also called double refraction. Place it over text and you’ll literally see double—because light slows and splits as it passes through. (Galileo and Viking navigators are said to have used it as a sunstone to locate the sun on cloudy days. How’s that for clarity?)
When to Use Optical Calcite:
- When you’re stuck in your head and need clarity
- To amplify the energy of other crystals in a grid or ritual
- When working on shadow work, past-life recall, or soul alignment
- For space clearing or during deep meditation sessions

What is intuitively chosen?
When you see the below bold sentence on a listing of ours, it means we have multiple of that stone and we will pick one that we feel is right for you. We call them intuitively chosen pieces because we use our intuition to choose a piece we feel is calling us for you - a piece that is absolutely meant to be yours. We are huge believers in the crystal chooses the owner, not the other way around.
We do our best to make sure that the listing photos and information accurately depicts what we have available so you have an idea of what is coming your way, but the rest is up to the universe.
If you don't see the below on our listing, it's because it is a one off piece and we guarantee that what is pictured is the exact piece you will receive.
"Price is per one piece, intuitively picked for you. The pictures represent the quality and sizing you can expect to receive however please note that stone is unique and one of a kind so there will be slight variations."
Shape significance
Using crystals for their spiritual and healing properties can be fun and fascinating and is a killer way to connect with the earth’s energy. But, when you really start digging into the magickal world of sparkly stones, it can start getting really overwhelming.
Not only do crystals come in every colour of the rainbow and serve different intended purposes, they are also found in many different shape formations. Newbies to the crystal world may think the way a stone is cut or shaped is purely aesthetic, but there’s a little more to a crystal’s shape than meets the eye. Just as the colours of the stones convey unique meanings, crystal shapes also matter. And while experts say that the structure of a crystal doesn’t change the type of energy it emits, the shape DOES affect the way you receive said energy.
