Yellow Honey Calcite Sphere 38mm — Solar Plexus Stone

A yellow honey calcite sphere, 38mm across and 80 grams, polished smooth in a warm, even yellow. Honey calcite is one of the go-to solar plexus chakra stones, associated with motivation, self-confidence, and a positive, forward-leaning attitude, which makes it a natural fit for a desk or study space.

The colour comes from natural trace impurities in the calcite as it forms, and this piece is entirely undyed and untreated, so the depth of yellow you see is exactly how the mineral grew. Individual spheres carry their own small variations in tone and texture, which is simply the honest character of a natural stone rather than any flaw.

A closer look at this piece

Calcite is calcium carbonate, and it's one of the most abundant minerals on earth, occurring in an enormous range of colours depending on trace elements present during formation. Honey calcite is often mistaken for citrine at a glance because of the similar warm yellow, but the two are entirely different minerals, calcite a carbonate and citrine a silicate quartz, with citrine considerably harder and more durable for daily handling. In tradition, yellow calcite is said to balance emotion with intellect and bring clarity to thought and direction, and it's a well-known feng shui stone for prosperity.

Living with your sphere

It suits a desk during study or focused work, a meditation space, or a display shelf, and a small stand or dish keeps it from rolling. Calcite is genuinely soft, roughly comparable to fluorite in hardness, so it's worth keeping away from harder stones and out of water, since prolonged moisture can affect the surface over time. A dry soft cloth is the right way to care for it.
