Sparkling calcite coats both faces of the stone, so this natural druzy cluster has no bad side to display.
The host stone underneath carries heavy orange and red hues, possibly from iron, and the calcite crystals grown over it add a frosted, glittering texture. Run a finger across it and you can feel the two layers: the rougher natural rock and the finer crystal growth on top. Its long, low shape works lying flat on a coffee table, a bookshelf ledge or a windowsill where light can rake across the druzy. A mineral collector will like the double sided growth; for a gift, it suits anyone drawn to warm earth tones.
About Calcite
Calcite is calcium carbonate, one of the most common minerals at Earth's surface. It comes in white, orange, red, yellow, blue and green, and it is soft, 3 on the Mohs scale. Druzy forms when tiny crystals coat the wall of a cavity or fracture.
Stone Meaning: Calcite is traditionally associated with clarity and renewal.
