Pink Calcite Worry Stone - 1.75-2 inch

Pink Calcite Worry Stone cut to a broad oval with a thumb hollow across one face. The colour ranges from a pale blush to a medium rose depending on the piece, occurring in massive form with no banding or crystal structure visible, and the surface carries the waxy lustre characteristic of calcite rather than a hard glassy shine. The stone is light for its size and warms quickly in the hand.

Pink Calcite is traditionally associated with compassion, particularly self-directed, and is one of the stones most often chosen for grief or recovery rather than for romance. It is commonly kept on a bedside table, held during quiet practice, or given to someone going through something difficult where a gift needs to be gentle rather than celebratory. At this size it sits fully within a closed palm.

Geological Information
Pink Calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral of the calcite family, crystallising in the trigonal system at Mohs 3, and it occurs in massive form rather than as distinct crystals, which gives it the soft waxy lustre it is known for. The pink colouring, ranging from pale blush through to a medium rose, comes from trace impurities or iron oxide within the carbonate. It is a natural untreated material with no dye or enhancement applied. It should be distinguished from Mangano Calcite, a related pink calcite that is a separate material commanding different prices, and the two are frequently conflated in the trade. Commercial material is sourced from Mexico, Peru, and the USA.

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. Pink Calcite is sensitive to acids and can be damaged by contact with household cleaning products or skincare products.
