History and folklore
Calcite is one of the most common minerals on Earth, the main ingredient of limestone, marble and chalk. Its name comes from the Latin calx, meaning lime. Green calcite, mostly mined in Mexico, gets its color from traces of other elements in the crystal. It has no long folklore of its own, so its correspondences are modern and drawn from its color: like spring leaves, it stands for renewal, gentle healing and the slow, steady growth of anything you are nurturing.

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.
