Scientific Fun Fact:
Orange Calcite is a colour variety of calcite, a calcium carbonate mineral with the formula CaCO₃. It crystallises in the trigonal system, measures 3 on the Mohs scale, and has perfect rhombohedral cleavage, meaning it can split along three directions into slanted block-like fragments. Mindat
Calcite also displays double refraction: light travelling through a clear crystal can split into two rays, making an object viewed through it appear doubled. This effect is easiest to see in transparent pieces rather than the cloudy orange material commonly used for carvings. Smithsonian

At the beginning of a creative project

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.

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.
