So in this case, life giving rise to a crystal.

Yeah…w ithout our precious calcites most of Earth’s organisms would not even exist! That’s the reason why calcites are so abundant on our planet. Calcium carbonate is what the shells & hard parts of organisms are made of. The reason it’s so “soft” in comparison to quartz is b/c calcite is a Calcium Carbonate. 3 on the Mohs Hardness scale, so much softer than the Blue Lace Agate….Also enhances psychic ability & assists with astral travel.spiritually calming + soothing as well as emotionally calming + soothing so it’s a great stone to meditate with.great for thyroid balancing (whether it’s hypo or hyper thyroid) because an out of whack thyroid has to do with hormone imbalances ( please read my cautions & disclaimers here before using crystals on medical issues).If you want to know more about that, I have blog post that I wrote all about that here. Plus, calcites as a group in general, are great for balancing hormones. Best for calm + clear communication, about finding your voice but in a very calm wayĬalcites come in every color in the rainbow…pretty much.all about calm, gentle, serene energy, clarity.You’ll find them in jewelry & anything that can kind of withstand being worn a lot, ya know…that might get banged up or something or worn as a bracelet same Mohs Hardness as quartz a 7, so it’s relatively hard.a type of quartz, all agates are a type of quartz.It’s actually a banded chalcedony a quartz mass made up of submicroscopic quartz particles set up in fibrous layers (those are the bands you see) that also may have other inclusions giving it various colors. Blue Lace Agateīlue Lace Agate is a pale blue gorgeous “lacy” layered-looking type of agate hence the name.Īgates are generally characterized by the bands that you’ll see in them. Now, I actually chose two crystals to embody the energy of the Serenity color. Serenity is a beautiful sky blue color that’s a really light blue…almost bordering on lavender. So of course, yep…this is a whole marketing & branding thing for Pantone, but color is such a big part of the visual properties of crystals that I cannot help but jump onto this bandwagon! Serenity Well…that’s a bit rich for my taste…but I think it’s safe to say it sets the direction & tone for fashion & style for the year… if you’re into that sort of thing. “has always been an integral part of how a culture expresses the attitudes and emotions of the times.” Pantone has stated that the color they choose, The purpose of the color of the year is to “set the tone” for the coming year. The colors of the year for 2016 are Serenity and Rose Quartz! This year Pantone made it more exciting because they chose two colors. 2014: Radiant Orchid Sugilite + Lepidolite.

I don’t have time for that shizzle… I just grab the next t-shirt up for rotation in my drawer, match some bottoms to it, pair up some crystal jewelry I’m vibing with for the day & I’m good to go!īUT today…I’m going to dabble in the fashion world again while I present my annual Color-of-the-Year video, where I match-up a crystal to Pantone’s Color of the Year! One day you’re in the next day you’re out.
