Calcites are the stones of calmness and balance. Calcium carbonate with its color ranging from white to black can be found in many places around our world such as Ireland where it was used for centering purposes during ceremonies because these crystals have been known over time to promote spiritual growth among other things by clearing negative forces that might exist within a space which makes them one-of-a-kind when healing with energy.
A rough version of crystal is usually cut from a much larger piece of mined material that is too large or heavy to be used by a person. Rough chunks such as calcites are often acid washed to subtly smooth out rough edges that may cause cuts or injury and to prevent further flaking or breakage.
