Pistachio Green Calcite Polished Heart with Layered Banding
NZD $50.00
SKU: P4162
This specimen is Pistachio Calcite, cut and polished into an Heart. It can appear as a beautiful bright lime green to blue-green form of Green Calcite, found in Pakistan. Green-Calcite belongs to the mineral class of carbonate and is formed through sedimentation. The green color is due to chlorite that got trapped during crystallization. A white background picture has been included to help better gauge the color.
Polished pistachio green calcite heart carving with a rounded, symmetrical form
Soft green translucency layered with creamy white and pale mint bands
Distinct natural horizontal striations running across the heart
Smooth, glossy polish that highlights internal calcite growth and texture
Exact crystal shown that you will receive – one of a kind

Crystal Description
This pistachio green calcite heart has been carefully polished to emphasize the stone’s natural translucency and layered internal structure. Soft green tones are intersected by creamy white bands and gentle earth-toned layers that flow horizontally across the carving.
The natural color shifts are visible from multiple angles, giving the heart depth and visual movement under light. Fine internal textures and mineral zoning remain visible beneath the smooth, glossy surface.
Comfortable to hold and well-balanced, this heart carving works beautifully as a display piece, gift, or addition to a curated mineral collection.
Green calcite from Pakistan is known for its soft coloration and distinct layered growth, both of which are clearly displayed in this polished heart. The cut highlights the stone’s natural banding while maintaining a harmonious, rounded form.
This is a single, one-of-a-kind pistachio green calcite heart, photographed from multiple angles to accurately represent color variation, natural layers, and surface features.

Calcite Origins & Background
Calcite is one of the most abundant and widely distributed minerals on Earth and forms the structural foundation of many geological environments. It occurs in an extraordinary range of colors, crystal habits, and formations, making it one of the most diverse and fascinating mineral families available to collectors and crystal enthusiasts.
The name Calcite derives from the Latin word calx, meaning lime. Calcite has been used throughout human history for construction, sculpture, pigments, and tools — as well as for metaphysical and spiritual purposes in many ancient cultures.
Calcite occurs worldwide, with notable deposits found in Mexico, Iceland, Brazil, China, Madagascar, the United States, and across Europe. Different localities produce distinct crystal forms, colors, and optical properties.
Calcite is known for forming some of the most visually striking crystal habits, including scalenohedrons, rhombohedrons, dogtooth crystals, massive formations, stalactites, and fibrous aggregates. Many popular varieties — such as Blue Calcite, Orange Calcite, Honey Calcite, Green Calcite, and Caribbean Blue Calcite — all belong to the same mineral species.
Calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral (CaCO₃) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system. It forms through a wide variety of geological processes, including sedimentary deposition, hydrothermal activity, and biological accumulation.
Calcite is the primary component of limestone and marble and plays a critical role in Earth’s carbon cycle. It can precipitate directly from solution, form through metamorphism, or grow biologically in shells, coral, and skeletal structures.
One of Calcite’s most distinctive physical properties is its strong cleavage — it breaks cleanly in three directions — and its well-known optical double refraction, most famously demonstrated by Iceland Spar.
Common Geological Occurrences
Sedimentary limestone and marble
Hydrothermal veins
Caves, stalactites, and stalagmites
Association with Aragonite, Quartz, Fluorite, and other carbonates
⚠️ Handling:
Calcite is relatively soft and easily scratched. Handle with care and avoid contact with harder minerals such as Quartz.
🧼 Cleaning:
Avoid acids, vinegar, or harsh cleaners. Calcite can be gently wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Prolonged water exposure is not recommended for polished pieces.
☀️ Light:
Most Calcite varieties are stable in light, though some colored forms may fade with prolonged intense sunlight.
📦 Storage:
Store Calcite separately or wrapped to prevent scratching and edge damage.
Calcite is widely regarded as a powerful energy amplifier and stabilizer. It helps energize the body’s electromagnetic systems while simultaneously promoting balance between opposing forces — particularly the Yin and Yang aspects of the self.
Calcite fortifies emotional strength and resilience, assisting in the release of fear, anxiety, and emotional stagnation. It is often worked with during periods of emotional recovery, mental recalibration, or when clarity and calm are required.
Because of its strong energetic conductivity, Calcite is frequently used to enhance awareness, perception, and the flow of subtle energy throughout the body. Many practitioners find it useful for clearing mental clutter and restoring energetic coherence.
Meditating with Calcite can help amplify thought processes, making it a popular stone for visualization, insight work, and astral or out-of-body exploration. Its energy is typically described as clarifying rather than overstimulating.
When used symbolically or energetically as an elixir (indirect methods recommended), Calcite is associated with detoxification and purification, with particular emphasis on supporting the kidneys and overall filtration processes within the body.
Calcite Crystal Pairings & Synergy
Calcite works exceptionally well with Clear Quartz
to amplify clarity and intention, and with Fluorite
to enhance mental organization and focus.
It also pairs beautifully with grounding stones such as Hematite
and nurturing stones like… Rose Quartz,
helping balance Calcite’s expansive qualities with emotional stability.
Summary
Calcite is a foundational crystal with broad applications across emotional, mental, and energetic work. Its ability to balance, clarify, and energize makes it a versatile and valuable companion for both beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
