Rough Orange Calcite

Lovely quality pieces of rough orange Calcite - we sell this in 100 gram packets.

Collectors may be interested in a single stone as a display item - as there are several colours of Calcite, they can make an interesting display.

When buying items by weight: In some instances, 100 grams may contain 1-3 pieces; however, an order of 500 grams may contain 1-2 much larger pieces. If you require a specific size, please get in touch before ordering to ensure we can supply sized pieces.

Most of the brightly coloured acid-washed Calcite on the market comes from Mexico, with some also coming from Madagascar - these 100 gram packets are mixed, from whereever we were able to get pieces at the right price.

Calcite is a reasonably soft mineral, and as such, it makes an ideal stepping stone into lapidary for beginners. It can be worked wet or dry, and takes an excellent polish. They can easily be cut into cabochons or carved into decorative objects.
