Mariposa Calcite (MARCAL09262601) from El Potosi Mines, Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico

Mariposa calcite (also known as "butterfly" calcite) is a rare, highly lustrous variety of calcite notable for its unique two-phase crystal growth. Featuring caramel-colored rhombohedral overgrowths with dark internal phantoms, it is primarily sourced from the Buena Tierra and El Potosi mines in the Santa Eulalia district of Chihuahua, Mexico.  It is highly sought after by mineral collectors because the extraction process is deeply laborious and dangerous, making new finds increasingly uncommon.

This type of calcite helps clear stagnant energy and aligns the chakras, provides comfort during periods of change or emotional stress, and promotes focus and a positive outlook, making it a helpful tool for meditation.  Featuring warm tones or hematite inclusions, it encourages inner peace, vitality, and deeper self-reflection
