Septarian
With Yellow Calcite filling in the cracks between Brown Aragonite, Septarian is like Japanese kintsugi, reminding you that by embracing your imperfections, you become stronger and more beautiful. This is a stone of the lower chakras: building confidence (Solar Plexus), increasing enjoyment of being in your body (Sacral), and helping to ground and center (Root). Also known as Dragonstone, this gem protects you as you step into your power.
Calcite is ubiquitous on Earth–it is found everywhere. It is the main component of the shells that protect marine organisms, snails, and eggs. Humans use calcite for construction and protection as it is the stable form of calcium carbonate and is the chief element of many marbles and travertines. Calcium carbonate is also used to reduce acid in agricultural soil. And, since calcium is integral in building healthy bones and muscles, as well as a strong nervous system and heart, calcium carbonate is used medicinally as a dietary supplement for humans. Calcium carbonate is also used in antacids to help quiet heartburn and upset stomach.
As a stone used in crystal healing, in my personal and professional experience, all of the calcites are calming to the physical, emotional, and energetic bodies.. Smoothing over fiery or acidic situations and balancing overactivity, calcite is a gentle crystal ally. Calcite is also said to clear blockages and bring revitalized energy to the chakra and meridian systems. Physically, calcite is perfect for helping to heal broken bones and skeletal issues, and balances hormones.
