Orange calcite, 2 mm faceted spherical strand

Strand length: approx. 40 cm
Stone size: 2 mm diameter
Cut: Ball, faceted
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 occurs 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 comparatively soft stone that deserves careful handling. The delicate 2mm faceted balls create fine light reflections and make the orange glow vibrantly – ideal for delicate necklaces, bracelet combinations, and as a color accent in jewelry design.

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