Bloodstone Heart - 2 inch

Tiger Calcite Palm Stones are smooth, flattened-oval pieces banded in bold black, grey, and white, the striking stripes running across the polished face. The high-contrast banding gives each palm stone a graphic, eye-catching character, and every piece shows its own arrangement of stripes. They sit comfortably in a closed hand.

Tiger Calcite is traditionally associated with confidence, ambition, and lively energy. The palm form suits its bold character, and it is commonly held during intention work around self-assurance and motivation, kept in the hand during focus, or displayed for its striking pattern. Its dramatic banding makes it a favourite carry and display piece.

The banding pattern varies from piece to piece, so each palm stone carries its own arrangement of black, grey, and white stripes, distinct from the photograph.

Geological Information
Tiger Calcite is a banded calcium carbonate of the calcite family (Mohs 3, trigonal), formed from alternating iron-rich and iron-poor layers that create its stripe patterning, a banding mechanism similar to banded agates but occurring in a calcite rather than a silica matrix. It is untreated natural material and, like other calcites, is soft and acid-sensitive. Mexico produces the primary commercial material. Banded calcite with warm earth tones has been worked decoratively in Mesoamerican and other traditions.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.

Care Note
Tiger Calcite is a soft stone (Mohs 3) and is sensitive to acids. Handle it gently, keep it away from vinegar, citrus, and cleaning products, and store it apart from harder stones to protect its polish.
