  • Product Code: RSCC01D

Caribbean Blue Calcite is a very new combination mineral that was recently found in 2019 in Pakistan. It's a combination of a very light ocean Blue Calcite and light brown and white Aragonite. 

These beauties are also called Caribbean Blue Calcite or just Blue Calcite and that's because both Aragonite and Calcite are chemically identical (calcium carbonate). Calcium Carbonate crystalizes usually as calcite, but surprisingly it forms Aragonite in seawater. This incredible outcome is so important for the Earth's cycle, neutralizing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and benefiting shells and corals formation. Aragonite can ultimately transform into calcite over time. 

Please Note: Natural gemstone or semi-precious stone comes from minerals. Due to their naturality, the stones may have tiny flaws. Meanwhile, cutting or polishing also makes every piece of gemstone vary in colour and size. The image may look different (colour) due to many monitor or device resolutions.
