Optical Calcite

Optical Calcite, also known as Iceland spar, is a clear rhombic calcite famous for double refraction. Look through a piece at a line of text and you will see it twice. This collection gathers our optical calcite at Wholehearted Crystal Creations, in raw rhombs, polished pieces and specimens.

The energy of Optical Calcite

Optical calcite is a stone of clarity and perspective, and its physics make the point better than words do. It is often used when you are trying to see a situation from another angle, when you suspect you are only getting half the story, or when a decision looks different depending on the day. Many people keep one nearby while they think something through.

Ways to use Optical Calcite

Hold a rhomb up to the light and look through it when you feel stuck, keep a piece on a desk or reading table, or place one on a crystal grid built around clarity. Optical calcite pairs beautifully with fluorite for focus and with clear quartz to amplify insight.

Every piece is hand selected for clarity and clean edges. For one of a kind specimens you will receive the exact stone pictured. Calcite is a soft mineral, so keep it away from water and store it where it will not be knocked.
