History and folklore
Calcite takes its name from the Latin calx, meaning lime, since it is the main mineral in limestone and marble. Clear calcite splits light into a double image, and some historians think Viking sailors may have used it to find the sun on cloudy days, though this is still debated. Blue calcite, mostly from Mexico, is a gentle member of the family. Modern witches keep it for calm, easy sleep and softer words, a small piece of quiet sky to hold.

Safety: Calcite is soft (about 3 on the Mohs scale) and scratches easily. Water dulls its surface and acids such as vinegar or lemon juice dissolve it, so do not soak it or make crystal elixirs with it. Cleanse it with smoke, sound or moonlight.
