This stunning “Caribbean Blue” Calcite Moon is carved in the crescent shape, which makes it instantly recognisable as moons as opposed to circles or semi circles. Each phase of the Moon has particular significance associated with it. With a crescent moon it is either Waxing or Waning, coming or going in simple terms.
The fact that the Moon moves through different cycles and does not remain fixed, symbolises the cycle of life itself. After all, in life, we often find ourselves in different phases, some where we reap the rewards of our actions and can rest, and others where we must work hard to achieve what we want.
In a Waxing Crescent Moon - The Moon’s illumination is growing, but we can only see less than half of the Moon from Earth. This phase is linked to making inventions and resolutions. Whereas in a Waning Crescent Moon - the Moon's brightness is dimming. We can see less than a quarter of the Moon . The phase is associated with surrender.
This piece can represent either of these lunar cycles, depending on which way you turn them, as seen in the group photos.
Of course, as well as the symbolism associated with the different phases of the Moon, the Moon as an entity also signifies many things. For example, in many spiritual traditions, the Moon is associated with female energy and female deities while the Sun is seen as male.
Indeed, there are many goddesses associated with lunar energy, and in turn, these deities are often protectors of those in childbirth and children, themselves. Goddesses associated with lunar energy are often defenders of children and are immortal matrons of childbirth.
In addition to representing the divine feminine, in spirituality, the Moon is also associated with enlightenment and illumination and our conscious and subconscious. After all, the Moon does shine down on us all and illuminates the dark.
However, unlike the Sun, the Moon's method of illumination is more subtle, relying on reflected light. This is important in Moon symbolism because you will often see associations between gentle, intuitive, and passive knowledge. Indeed, the Moon is believed to represent the type of knowledge that comes to us and insight, rather than the kind we can actively search for in the world.
Of course, this connection to inner insight matches well with the association of the Moon in spirituality with our inner world. The parts of our experience that are not immediately obvious to those around us or even ourselves. Indeed, the Moon symbolizes things such as our inner feelings and desires, our shadow self, and things that we are yet to discover about ourselves. Yet, with the gentle illumination that the Moon brings, we can come to learn these things about ourselves and integrate them without too much strife.
“Caribbean Blue” Calcite:-
Although the name “Caribbean Blue Calcite” stirs up visions of an island surrounded by crystal clear blue ocean this material was recently discovered in Pakistan (2019), and contains a very soothing light ocean Blue Calcite as well as Brown Aragonite.
Measuring 3 on the Mohs scale, this mineral is soft and fragile. Care should be taken not to damage the crystal surface by handling the stone gently and keeping it away from other stones. To clean the delicate crystal, simply use water and dry it afterwards with a soft cloth. Personally I find it to be a very calming Stone with wonderful grounding undertones.
All Calcites are said to amplify and cleanse energies, while Brown Aragonite (which is included in Caribbean Calcite) is great for grounding and stress relief. This blue stone is most associated with the Third Eye Chakra and the Crown Chakra.
Calcite in general is a Seeker Builder Crystal. Seeker Builder crystals are used to focus your efforts to achieve a highly desirable goal. Finding your true love, getting your perfect home, or having a financially secure retirement are all dreams that take a great deal of focus and energy to accomplish. Calcite is a perfect aid for such efforts.
Calcite is a wonderful meditation stone used when you need to restore balance your life, when it is out of balance from an excess of Yang energy. The world can be a harsh, hard, loud, and forceful place. Calcite is a repose. For many, just holding one for a few minutes brings great relief.
Caribbean Blue Calcite activates one’s mind which helps to channel their own unique psychic abilities aiding in elevating consciousness. Aiding in developing inner vision and clairvoyance, it can help one be more sensitive to the thoughts of others while enhancing telepathy and communication.
Brown Aragonite acts as a stabilising stone and assists those who need to release issues from the past and attachments in the present. It can be used for grounding and centring before meditation, allowing for better communication and connection to the higher planes, and can also help one to ground spiritually into the lower chakras raising the overall vibration of the body. Aragonite provides insight into problems, and increases self-worth and self-confidence. Diminishing stress and anger, Aragonite brings patience to situations just as it is needed the most.
