    Another little rock. This one is just about 1"-1 1/2" depending on where it is measured. The striking feature would be that is is covered with tiny crystals and made up of tiny crystals. I looked up what calcite is and it has a hardness of 3 and other such that did not have all that much meaning to me. It has a chemical formula of CaCO3 for those of you with a bunch of molecules sitting around. It is what marble and limestone are made up of.
    Of course it has several properties such as emotional healing. It detoxifies and energizes the chakra which is always helpful. Plus it is useful Plus it has uses in feng shui.
    The main thing is it looks neat. You have to see it live or on video to get the full effect as light glitters as it is turned.
    In a final note minerals that end in "ite" are not water friendly. Luckily I read that.
