The Crystal System...
Orange Calcite has a Trigonal crystal system and is in the mineral class of carbonates. It is formed from solutions that are rich in calcium in one of two ways, either by hydrothermal occurrence, or most commonly through sedimentation. This orange variety can be found in the area of Franklin, New Jersey in the US and certain areas of Mexico.
All Calcites are a 'soft' stone and can be scratched using only a finger nail. This one will also occasionally form as stalactites whose bases are actually much softer than the hanging faces of the crystal. It can also be found holding well formed crystals made from other minerals.
Application...
As with most gemstones, Orange Calcite offers its best effects when in direct contact of the body. It may be worn or can be laid directly on the 2nd Chakra. It is also very beneficial to use during meditation since its color is linked to the sun and light, and light is linked with spiritual purity and knowledge.

Folklore...
Currently, many magickal practitioners are using Orange Calcite placed on alters during rituals or rites, or wear it as a protective stone. While it may only be evident to the eye in the clear or optical varieties, because of its make up, all calcites carry the double refraction property which seems to double the power of intentions when used for that purpose.
