AMBER CALCITE

(Alternate Names: Honey Calcite, Golden Calcite, Hearthlight Stone)

Appearance

Translucent golden-yellow to amber-orange calcite with a soft, glowing warmth. Often forms in layered or rhombohedral shapes, with internal veils that catch light like honey suspended in glass. Some pieces appear smoky-golden; others resemble melted amber or pale fire.

Energetically, it feels like a slow exhale — warm, supportive, and gently empowering.
