What Is Orange Calcite?
The mineral orange calcite is a member of the calcite group of minerals, which also includes marble, limestone, dolomite, etc.
It has been used in ancient cultures as an amulet or talisman against evil spirits, and is often associated with protection from negative energy.
Orange calcite is one of the most common types of calcite found on Earth.
It is named after its color, which ranges from light yellow to dark orange, depending upon the amount of impurities present.
It can also be referred to as “orange quartz” because it looks similar to quartz. However, unlike quartz, orange calcite does not have a silica content of over 50%.
Healing Properties Of Orange Calcite
There are many benefits to using orange calcite, but for the purposes of this article, we’re going to concentrate on its healing properties alone.
Orange calcite was once thought to be effective against evil spirits, and it is still commonly believed that it protects people from negativity.
In fact, it is said to help protect us from all kinds of bad luck, including:
- Heart disease
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Stress
- Nightmares
- Insomnia
- Panic attacks
It is thought that this is achieved by cleansing both your physical body and your aura of any unwanted negative energy.

Orange Calcite And The Chakras
If you are interested in crystal healing, you may have come across the term “chakras”. This refers to seven main psychic centers within our bodies (and beyond).
These chakras are located along the spine, and each one corresponds to a different part of our being.
Orange calcite is known to be good for the two of the chakras in particular.
This includes the solar plexus chakra, the 3rd chakra, which is found below the chest, between the navel and the heart.
And also the sacral chakra, the 2nd chakra, which is found below the naval but above the genitals.
According to some sources, orange calcite helps to balance these chakras, so that you can achieve inner peace.
How To Use Orange Calcite For Your Own Healing
Now that you know what kind of stone orange calcite is, and why it’s so beneficial, let’s look at some ways in which you can use it for your own personal healing.
First off, you need to find yourself some orange calcite. You’ll probably want to buy a piece of natural orange calcite rather than synthetic.
Synthetic stones tend to be very expensive, and they don’t hold up well when exposed to heat. Natural stones, however, will last much longer.
You can purchase it at your local gemstone store – just ask if they sell natural orange calcite.
If they do, then great! If not, you can look online through sites such as Amazon, eBay, Etsy, or other similar.
As for what size crystal to use, there really isn’t a right or wrong answer here. As long as it’s large enough to fit comfortably in your hand, then you should be fine.
Just make sure that it fits snugly into your palm. Once you’ve got your orange calcite, place it somewhere safe where it won’t get damaged.
You might like to put it in a special pouch or box, or even wrap it in cloth. Next, take a few deep breaths.
Then close your eyes, and visualize yourself feeling calm, relaxed, and happy.
Feel free to imagine yourself surrounded by beautiful scenery, or simply sitting quietly in a peaceful room.
When you feel ready, start rubbing your orange calcite with your fingers.
Rub it gently around your body, starting from your head, and making your way all the way down to your toes.
Imagine all the negativity inside you being lifted out by the orange calcite.
This is a great way to cleanse your aura of any negative energy that has built up over time. It’s also a great way to release stress and anxiety.
And by releasing your stress and anxiety, you are helping your body to heal because the stress hormones that cause damage to your body will gradually come down.
When you’re done, open your eyes again, and see just how much better you feel.
How To Use Orange Calcite For Your Solar Plexus And Sacral Chakras
If you’d like to work on balancing your chakras, then you could try using orange calcite.
The first thing you need to do is choose a specific area of your body that needs attention. Perhaps it’s your solar plexus chakras, or maybe it’s your sacral chakras.
Either one would benefit greatly from orange calcite. The next step is to rub your orange calcite against this area until you have a nice smooth surface.
This will help to stimulate blood flow, and increase the amount of oxygen available to your cells.
Then, sit back and relax.
Focus on breathing deeply, and envision yourself feeling calm, relaxed and happy. When you feel ready, start massaging your orange calcite once more.
Massage it slowly and gently, focusing on relaxing each part of your body. When you’re finished, open your eyes and pay attention to how good you feel.
Wrap Up
So, if you’re lucky enough to own a piece of orange calcite, you can take advantage of its healing properties.
It can be used to cleanse your body and your aura of unwanted negative energies, leaving you feeling calmer and happier, and by doing so, help to heal the body-mind of its troubles. Be well.
