Crystal Study 001: Clear Calcite

I was in for the biggest shock, quite literally, when I went to dig through my crystals. I wasn’t sure which crystal(s) to start with, but after reading through the index of one of my crystal books, decided to just take inventory of the crystals I had. Mistake. Big Mistake. Once I pulled down my crystal jar containing an assortment of my crystals, I began to buzz all over and my head felt like it was full of pressure. I had to leave the room in a hurry, but the neat freak in me knew I’d have to clean every thing up 😩

When I went back to clean everything up (put the crystals away), the buzzing returned. Teeth chattering even. I don’t really know how I landed on calcite, but I ended up pulling all the calcite and sat to take a breath. Eventually, I was able to power through until every other crystal was put away. I thought I could tolerate transparent pink calcite, but I had to go ahead and put every single crystal away.


It was the wildest thing I’d ever experienced with my crystals. Ever. I drank water to ground and eventually had to bathe to completely calm my system down.


Today, I really had decided not to work with the crystals for a while, but found myself looking for and holding my charoite sphere and found it to be quite calming. I still needed to ground today. After reading, I watered my plants, sat in the shade and allowed myself to sweat. This helped. Once back inside, I was able to open the crystal closet, and just sit with the calcite in their bags and not touching me. The buzzing was milder, but remained. This helped me come to the conclusion that I can and should only handle one stone at a time. While I work with that stone, I will observe the frequency, notice my thoughts and emotions, energy levels… just totally back to basics. I was totally reluctant to look for the optical calcite for fear of being shocked! But it was in plain sight (pun intended)

That’s all I’ll write for now, but there is more. I have made a discovery that took me 8 years to find. I haven’t quite figured out how to put it into words, but hopefully, I will soon. Until then, Calcite — Clear Calcite to be exact.
