Sky blue calcite looks its best when it is lifted up off the shelf, which is exactly what the metal stand does here.
The chunk sits on a compact metal stand with a small footprint, so it fits a desk corner, a nightstand or a bookshelf without crowding anything. Light passing through the stone shows the soft blue color in the photos, and the stand keeps it upright and easy to dust around. Every piece of calcite has its own shape, so the chunk you receive will differ slightly from the ones shown.
About Blue Calcite
Calcite is calcium carbonate, CaCO3, and comes in many colors; blue is one of the softer pastel forms. It has a glassy luster and is translucent, so light moves through it, and it is soft, 3 on the Mohs scale. A drop of dilute acid on powdered calcite makes it fizz, a classic field test.
Stone Meaning: Blue calcite is traditionally associated with calm communication and peace.
