Cobalto Calcite, also recognized as Cobaltoan Calcite or Aphrodite Stone, is a unique variation of Calcite infused with Cobalt impurities. The intensity of its pink hue is typically determined by the concentration of Cobalt. Found predominantly in small druzy clusters over matrix, this mineral has been discovered in Tuscany, Italy. It was initially unearthed in the Calamita mine. Although rare, it has been found in various locations worldwide, including the Congo, Morocco, Australia, Mexico, the UK, Spain, Italy, and Switzerland.
The Spiritual Vibes
Beyond its physical presence, Cobaltoan Calcite is a potent talisman of love, delving into the depths of one’s true emotions. Its soothing vibrations aid in unveiling and releasing suppressed feelings, offering support during moments of discomfort. Acting as a guardian, it nurtures and provides the strength needed to navigate through emotional trauma. This stone becomes a companion in the process of shedding negativity, allowing personal growth and the realisation of a cleansed soul. Through this transformative journey, one gains the capacity for love, joy, and compassion, while still honouring their roots.
Cobalto Calcite Favourite Pairing Crystals
In meditation, Cobaltoan Calcite synergizes harmoniously with other heart-centred stones. Consider incorporating Rose Quartz, Kunzite, Green Calcite, Chrysoprase, or Pink Tourmaline to enhance the heart-opening experience. Carrying these stones daily serves as a reminder to prioritise self-care, fostering a life filled with love and compassion.
