GEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Optical Calcite, also known as Iceland Spar, is a clear and striking form of Calcite. She belongs to the hexagonal crystal system and is composed of calcium carbonate. With a modest hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale, she is relatively soft compared with many other minerals. Found in countries such as the USA, UK, Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Peru, Iceland, Romania and Brazil, she is known for her remarkable ability to split light into two rays, creating a doubled image when viewed through her. This natural gift makes her both fascinating to collectors and important in scientific history, as she was once used in optical instruments.
METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Physical
She is said to cleanse the aura and is often turned to for support with migraines, eye health, and general revitalisation. Her influence is considered beneficial for the skeleton, joints, skin, immune system, blood clotting, and tissue healing. She is also linked to growth in small children and the easing of intestinal conditions and ulcers.
Emotional
Optical Calcite encourages clarity and calm when stress or emotional turbulence arises. She has a gentle way of dissolving confusion and opening perception, helping one to see situations more truthfully and with greater understanding. By doing so, she lessens the weight of emotional stress and restores motivation.
Spiritual
At the spiritual level, she amplifies images and supports new ways of seeing reality. She reveals the hidden meaning behind words and experiences, heightening perception and reminding you of your true nature as a spiritual being having a human journey. Associated with the third eye, she helps open inner vision and deepens awareness of the unseen layers of life.
