Orange Calcite Star – 91mm Hand-Carved Polished Stone

This exceptional Orange Calcite Star is a vibrant addition to any mineral collection or sacred space. Hand-carved from premium-grade Calcite, this piece features a rich, honeyed orange saturation reminiscent of a desert sunset. The stone exhibits the characteristic translucency of high-quality calcium carbonate, with delicate white "veils" and internal cleavage planes that catch the light from every angle.

Geological Overview

Calcite (CaCO3) is a foundational mineral in the Earth's crust, typically forming in sedimentary or metamorphic environments. This specific variety gains its cheerful orange hue from the presence of iron oxide during its formation. As a mineral with a Mohs hardness of 3, achieving a high-gloss, symmetrical polish on a five-point star requires significant artisanal skill to prevent chipping and ensure crisp, clean edges.

Aesthetic Appeal & Display

The star’s surface is polished to a glass-like finish, highlighting a spectrum of tones from deep marmalade to soft amber. Because of its 91mm (approx. 3.58") span, it serves as a substantial focal point for a display shelf, desk, or crystal grid. The natural white striations provide a beautiful organic contrast to the geometric precision of the star shape.

Metaphysical Properties

In the realm of energy work, Orange Calcite is celebrated as the "Stone of the Mind." It is deeply connected to the Sacral Chakra, believed to stimulate creative fire, confidence, and playfulness. The star shape itself is a universal symbol of divine guidance and inspiration, making this an ideal piece for those looking to manifest new ideas or overcome creative stagnation.
