This elegant Ojuela Mine calcite features lustrous, translucent rhombohedral crystals scattered across a rich reddish-brown limonite matrix. The calcite’s subtle cream and honey tones contrast beautifully with the darker iron oxide surfaces, showcasing the mine’s characteristic mineral diversity. Tiny, golden acicular inclusions add textural intrigue, bringing an earthy brilliance to this classic Mexican specimen.
Details:
• Weight: 3.3 oz (≈ 94 g)
• Size: approx. 2.7" × 1.5" × 1.2"
• Type: Calcite
• Origin: Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Durango, Mexico
• Finish: Natural crystalline surface on limonite matrix
• Family: Carbonate mineral (Calcium Carbonate – CaCO₃)
Energetic & Metaphysical Properties:
Renewal • Purification • Clarity
Chakras: Crown • Solar Plexus
Element: Fire & Air
Calcite encourages cleansing and renewal on both physical and energetic levels. It amplifies positive energy, dissolves stagnation, and fosters clear communication and insight. The golden tones resonate with the will center, promoting balance between intellect and intuition.
Geological Notes:
• Crystal System: Trigonal (Rhombohedral habit)
• Hardness: 3
• Formation: Occurs as a secondary mineral in oxidized zones of lead-zinc deposits. Ojuela Mine’s calcite often forms on limonite with subtle iron-rich patina.
• Associated Minerals: Hemimorphite, smithsonite, adamite, and aurichalcite frequently co-occur.
Display Note:
This specimen displays best angled slightly forward under soft daylight or LED illumination to emphasize the contrast between calcite clarity and earthy matrix tones.
