This very aesthetic specimen weighs 20g and measures 4cm x 3cm x 2.5cm and was sourced from the Biggenden Mine, Mount Biggenden, North Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia, which has been the source of a large number of Calcite specimens with a variety of different growth habits.

The Mount Biggenden deposit was discovered in 1888 because of its large ironstone outcrop. Gold and bismuth were extracted intermittently by shallow underground mining from 1890 to 1912, with gold the primary product from 1890 to 1901 and bismuth thereafter to 1912.

The mine reopened as the Mt Biggenden Bismuth Mine in 1934 and was worked through to 1938. Over 186 kg of gold and 203 t of bismuth (1901-1938) and 330,000 t of magnetite (1966-1980) are known to have been produced, but these figures are probably understated. Economic minerals mined here since 1890 are Magnetite, Bismuthinite, Native Bismuth, Gold and Chalcopyrite.

Numerous crystal-lined fissures and vugs were encountered during underground mining, some as long as 20 m, with Calcite, Siderite, Magnetite and Quartz the dominant crystals lining the walls; however, rarely Selenite and a host of other minerals were also seen. Encountering a new vug during underground development was apparently a very common experience.

An enlightened policy by mine management from 1966 to 1999 saw miners officially allowed to extract mineral specimens and give them away or sell them to mineral collectors who often gathered at the mine car park to see what had been uncovered. Many Australian mineral collectors and gem clubs have fond memories of visits to the car park over the years, obtaining some spectacular specimens that would have otherwise been lost to the mullock dump or treatment plant. The mine yielded world-class terminated Bismuthinite crystal specimens which are highly sought today but rare, along with a wide range of other well-crystallised species, notably carbonates.

Calcite :-

Calcite is clear, whitish, or pale grey, but can take on different shades of gray, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown, or even black. This is due to microscopic quantities of other minerals or metals contained within the crystal matrix which makes the energy shift and it takes on unique characteristics.

Calcite is a family of calcium carbonates that occurs in a wide range of colours and formations. Most commonly it occurs in opaque masses but it can occur in a wide array of crystalline habits. Calcite is a soft mineral, with a Mohs hardness of 3. Because of its relative softness it is often carved or polished. Rough pieces are usually given an acid bath which softens the rough edges and give the stones a silky sheen.

Calcite has an amazing energy that refreshes and revitalizes, yet is still gentle. They help to remove blockages and break up old patterns. The wide range of colors ensures there is a calcite for every chakra. These strong yet gentle healers are easy to work with no matter your age, and even vibrate well with our feathered and furry friends. Calcite is a great all round healer and can be found in a wide array of colours.

Energize your body’s natural electrical system using this crystal in your hands, at your feet or chakra point. You may use spheres, eggs and wands for massage. Placing your feet on a large piece will energize the whole body out of sight. Calcite comes in many colors, forms and locations. It is a crystal of fantastic variety and each one has its own benefits. Due to its electrical nature, Calcite makes for a potent elixir. Calcite is a crystal to help one get out of ruts, or break through blockages on just about any level. It is also a crystal for ascension.

Calcite is a stone of promise. It works hard to help and support its keeper in many ways. A stone that is often grounding, comforting and settling, resonating often with its keeper on an earthly level, Calcite makes a wonderful support towards moving through daily life. It is a stone that can settle with many beings contently, especially as it tends to work in the here and now, while keeping they're feet on the ground at all times. Calcite is very stable and universal in its energy, and although it does differ in its forms, the undertones remain the same.
