Orange calcite, 4 mm bead strand

Strand length: approx. 40 cm
Stone size: Diameter 4 mm
Cut: Ball
Color: Luminous Orange
Mineralogy: Orange Calcite (Calcite, Calcium Carbonate, CaCO₃; orange due to iron oxide inclusions)

Calcite is one of the most widespread minerals on Earth and comes in a variety of colors – from white to blue and green to luminous orange. Orange calcite owes its warm color to fine iron oxide inclusions in the crystal lattice. With a hardness of only 3 on the Mohs scale, calcite is a relatively soft stone that deserves careful handling. The 4mm beads of this strand radiate a warm, rich orange and are ideal for necklaces, bracelet combinations, and as a color accent in jewelry design.

Significant deposits: Mexico, USA, Brazil, India, Belgium.
