Calcite and carnelian

Both carnelian and calcite are very similar and yet very different. Carnelian abounds in all natural colors, so we can find red carnelian, brown, pink or orange carnelian. In contrast, calcite occurs in earthy shades, ranging from black and gray to brown to clear.

If we take a closer look at the individual stones, we find that carnelian is a semi-precious stone, a translucent variety of chalcedony with a hardness of 7 and no cleavage, and the presence of crevel is responsible for its beautiful reddish color. This healing stone can be found as a filling of cavities in igneous and sedimentary rocks. Carnelian has deposits all over the world, including the Czech Republic, but the most famous are in Turkey and India. Turkish carnelian is specific in its appearance, as it has a beautiful honey color.

It is said that carnelian can help restore vitality, motivate and give us the peace and patience we need. It is said that the success it can bring is also related to this. Carnelian is said to have cleansing effects and can cleanse other stones. It is said that he dispels the fear of death and helps the dead on their way to the underworld.

Carnelian in folk traditions and legends: in them, carnelian is associated with the base chakra, it is said to help regulate relationships and arouse sexual appetite. It is said to suppress manifestations of depression, anger and violence and bring a positive outlook on life. That's why it's said to be great for introverts and shy people, as it can help them overcome nervousness and problems with public speaking. Carnelian has also been used for centuries as a willpower aid in overcoming addictions. It has always been considered a meditative shamanic stone that aids relaxation and concentration during meditation and eliminates all external influences and distracting thoughts.

Another stone that you can find in our offer is calcite. Calcite is an arch mineral that forms on hydrothermal veins, most often ore ones, where they form massive fillings or beautiful crystals. It is a brittle stone with a hardness of 3 and a color ranging from clear to black. It is most often found in earth tones - gray, brown and black, but the most popular is yellow calcite, orange calcite or honey calcite.

We can recognize it from the construction industry, where it is used as a building stone and in the production of lime and cement. It is also used in metallurgy as an additive to blast furnaces. However, it is also a great decoration. Calcite is one of the most common rocks in the earth's crust. The largest amount of calcite can be found in limestone, marble and travertine. In the Czech Republic, calcite also has its deposits, namely in the Czech and Moravian Karst.
