PINK CALCITE: Gemstone of the Month

"Pink Calcite is a stone of deep compassion, and it generates this energy in those who work with it. This compassion occurs first for oneself and one's past mistakes and fear-based decisions, and then for others. 
Pink Calcite also facilitates the state of non-judgmental acceptance and unconditional love. This stone connects to the energy of Kwan Yin, bodhisattva of compassion, and those who are drawn to her energy may find a harmonic resonance with these beautiful crystals. In fact, one may use Pink Calcite in meditation and ritual, in order to consciously connect with Kwan Yin. Sometimes, in such meditations, one will feel the unexpected joyful opening of the heart, filling the physical and energetic bodies with love. When this happens, one will know She is there.
Looking into the interior of one of these gemlike Pink Calcites can bring one into a state of rapturous appreciation of the beauty of existence. This in turn can kindle the flame of joy in one's own heart. For those drawn to such an experience, meditation with one of these stones, imagining the crystal moving into the chest and merging with one's own heart, is highly recommended. 
Pink Calcite resonates especially well with Pink Tourmaline and also harmonizes with other heart stones, such as Rose Quartz, Morganite and Kunzite. Combining it with stones such as Lilac Lepidolite and/or Amethyst can enhance the feeling of connection with the higher realms of Spirit. To further strengthen this connection, Phenacite and Danburite are particularly recommended." -The Book of Stones
