Cobaltoan Calcite is a rare cobalt-bearing variety of Calcite, recognised for its beautiful natural pink colouring. I've previously only been able to offer this crystal in its raw form, so I was really excited to find these polished spheres. Each one reveals an incredible mixture of vivid pink, softer blush and cream tones with contrasting darker mineral inclusions and some have natural drusy pockets and little crystal caves remaining within the sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy I Chose This Crystal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI've only ever had Cobaltoan Calcite in its raw form before, so being able to offer it as a sphere feels really special. I love that polishing it hasn't taken away all of its natural character either. You still have the little drusy pockets, caves, mineral inclusions and changes in texture running through some of the pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnergetically, Cobaltoan Calcite is a crystal I would choose when something around the heart needs a little care. It has that connection with love and compassion but for me it goes deeper into emotional healing, forgiveness and learning to offer yourself the same kindness you so readily give to other people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Cobaltoan Calcite?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCobaltoan Calcite is a cobalt-bearing variety of Calcite. Its distinctive pink to purple colouring occurs when cobalt substitutes for some of the calcium within the Calcite crystal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial from the Democratic Republic of the Congo is particularly sought after for its rich pink colouring and association with the region's cobalt and copper mineral deposits. Polished spheres are a beautiful way of seeing the variations within the material, particularly where areas of Calcite, contrasting minerals and natural crystalline pockets occur together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin crystal healing traditions, Cobaltoan Calcite is particularly associated with the Heart Chakra, emotional healing, compassion, forgiveness and self-love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCRYSTAL PROPERTIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChakra Alignment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeart Chakra (Green)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpiritual \u0026amp; Metaphysical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCobaltoan Calcite is traditionally associated with opening and supporting the Heart Chakra, unconditional love, compassion and emotional release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is often worked with when exploring forgiveness, deeper self-acceptance or reconnecting with your own emotional needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMental \u0026amp; Emotional Healing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCobaltoan Calcite is particularly associated with emotional healing, self-worth and approaching difficult feelings with greater compassion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be a meaningful crystal during periods of heartache, grief or emotional change and for anyone who finds it easier to offer kindness to other people than to themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin traditional crystal healing, Cobaltoan Calcite is associated with relaxation, emotional balance and releasing stress-related tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal healing is a complementary wellbeing practice and should never replace appropriate professional healthcare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWays to Work With This Crystal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHold your sphere during meditation or Heart Chakra work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it somewhere associated with rest, reflection or self-care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it during journalling around self-worth, forgiveness or emotional healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace it at the centre of a heart-centred crystal grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with Rose Quartz for gentle heart-centred work or Smokey Quartz when you'd like to combine emotional support with grounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZodiac Alignment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCancer\u003cbr\u003eLibra\u003cbr\u003eTaurus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnergetic Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese spheres really show why Cobaltoan Calcite is such an interesting material.
