Banded Calcite Dolphin

Banded Calcite Dolphin

Banded Calcite (also sold as Onyx) is a striking variety of calcite, a calcium carbonate mineral (CaCO₃), known for its distinctive layers in warm tones like cream, honey, caramel, and brown. These beautiful bands form naturally through the accumulation of minerals over time, giving each piece a unique, earthy appearance. Scientifically, calcite ranks around 3 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it a relatively soft stone that requires gentle handling. Metaphysically, Banded Calcite is valued for its grounding and stabilising energy. It’s believed to help balance emotions, promote mental clarity, and support personal growth. The layered structure is often seen as symbolic of inner healing and transformation, making it a popular choice for those on a spiritual journey or working through change.
