It was already used by the Egyptians (in the Great Pyramid of Giza) and the Greeks and Romans (for marble).

PROPERTIES, CHARACTERISTICS AND BENEFITS:
General features
Calcite is a mineral belonging to the carbonate family and crystallizes in the trigonal system. Its main composition is calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), but it may contain traces of other elements such as iron, manganese, lead, and strontium.
It can come in many colours, including: red, orange, yellow, honey, green, pink (e.g., manganocalcite), light blue, and colourless (Iceland spathe). Some varieties are transparent or translucent, with glassy or pearly sheen.

Geologically, calcite is a widespread mineral and is commonly found in rocks such as limestone and marble. But its blue variety is rarer and more valuable, not only for its delicate coloration but for its unique energy.
In history, blue calcite was used as early as the Greeks and Romans as a talisman to bring health, wealth and love. In medieval times it was used by alchemists and healers to ward off evil spirits, develop inner wisdom and unlock psychic or "magical" abilities.

It is a stone strongly connected to the water element and the planet Venus, which gives it a soft, gentle, yet deeply transformative vibration. It is often associated with mythological figures such as Odin, god of knowledge, and Njord, Norse god of the sea.
