Calcite

Can I keep my calcite in water or salt?

Calcite is a soft, water-soluble stone, which means that prolonged contact with water, let alone salt, can damage it. It can dissolve or become duller if immersed for too long. When it comes to purifying calcite, opt for waterless methods such as fumigation or sound purification.

Why does my calcite look different from the photos?

Calcite comes in many colors - white, orange, blue, green, yellow and even pink - with natural variations in transparency and texture. Each stone is unique, and your specimen may differ slightly from the images due to these natural peculiarities.

How can I improve the appearance of my calcite?

Calcite is sensitive to knocks and scratches, so clean only with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid contact with water or acidic substances that could alter its surface. For best results, use indirect lighting to enhance its colors and crystalline softness.
