Calcite Jewelry
The mineral calcite is found sprinkled across the world and at practically every source you will find calcite in a different, dazzling color. Stemming from the Greek word chalix meaning "lime," calcite is found in nearly any hue of the rainbow, from red to yellow to violet to green. As diverse as calcite's color can be, so is its form. Calcite crystals occur naturally in an infinite variety of shapes, including the spiky stalactites and stalagmites found in caves, so every piece of calcite jewelry has its own life and vibrancy.

Calcite Jewelry Care & Handling
Calcite is a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale and should be treated with great care. Keep away from solvents, heat, prolonged exposure to strong light, and water with low pH acidic nature. Never use ultrasonic cleaners or steamers. Clean your calcite jewelry with cool soapy water and store in your Ross-Simons presentation box.
