Sourced from the mineral-rich mountains of Pakistan, this Rose Calcite is a stunning example of manganese-rich calcium carbonate ($CaCO_3$). Its delicate, dusty-rose hues are the result of manganese inclusions within its complex trigonal crystal system. Each tower exhibits a characteristic waxy to vitreous luster and may feature subtle horizontal banding, recording the unique hydrothermal pulses of its Balochistan origin.
Aesthetic Appeal
These towers feature a nurturing color palette of soft rose and creamy peach. Each obelisk is masterfully polished to highlight the stone's natural translucency and "phantom" veiling that glows when placed near light. Standing at 3.5 inches tall, its vertical obelisk form makes it a beautiful and serene focal point for any modern mineral collection.
Metaphysical Properties
Associated with the Heart Chakra, Rose Calcite is the premier stone for gentle emotional healing and forgiveness. It is traditionally used to soothe the nervous system, helping the user release anxiety and release old emotional blockages. Its calming pink vibration is believed to encourage self-love and to foster a peaceful, compassionate atmosphere in any space.
Rarity & Collectibility
Graded AA (Premium Collector Grade), these 225g towers are hand-selected for their exceptional color saturation and structural integrity. While pink calcite is found globally, the specific manganoan tones and superior polish of Pakistani specimens make them highly sought after by discerning collectors.
Collector’s & Display Notes

Condition & Authenticity
Transparency Matters: This is a 100% natural specimen with no dyes or heat treatments. As with all natural carbonates, minor internal veils or tiny surface pits are authentic markers of the stone's genuine geological formation.
