Its angular formations reveal layers of clarity and subtle silvery-white tones, while flashes of pastel pink, blue, green and gold emerge as the crystal catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the warmer golden tones of our other Optical Calcite specimens, No. 3 has a predominantly clear appearance, allowing its fascinating internal structures to take centre stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOptical Calcite, also known as Iceland Spar when exceptionally clear, is renowned for its optical property of double refraction. Light passing through the crystal splits into two rays, which can cause writing or objects viewed through transparent sections to appear doubled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts natural rainbow reflections, delicate internal fractures and distinctive rhombohedral cleavage make this a wonderful specimen for anyone fascinated by the beauty and science of minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional Crystal Associations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClear Calcite is traditionally associated with clarity, cleansing and spiritual awareness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOften connected with the Crown Chakra, it is believed to encourage clear thinking, renewed perspective and a greater sense of connection with personal intuition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also commonly used in crystal practices focused on releasing stagnant energy and creating space for fresh intentions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear Optical Calcite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e No. 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural rhombohedral cleavage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear, translucent white and pale champagne undertones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural rainbow flashes, internal fractures and geometric crystal faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw \/ Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou will receive the exact Clear Optical Calcite specimen pictured.
