A doubly refractive stone, it splits light entering the stone in two, so everything reflected appears as double. Many of the artefacts of the Ancient Egyptian empire were created from calcite. It is a powerful amplifier and cleanser of energy that facilitates higher awareness and metaphysical abilities. Connecting emotion with intellect, it facilitates emotional intelligence and has a positive effect where one feels hopeless. Calcite can calm the mind and teach discernment and analysis while also stimulating insight and boosting memory.
