Banded Calcite, often referred to as Onyx Marble, Alabaster Onyx, or Mexican Onyx, is a captivating variety of Calcite known for its colorful, banded appearance. Despite its name, it is not true Onyx. The striking bands result from alternating layers of Calcite and minerals like Aragonite, formed through the slow precipitation of calcium carbonate. This process creates a rich palette of colors, including white, yellow, brown, green, and pink.
 
Banded Calcite’s unique beauty makes it a favored material for decorative items like vases, bowls, sculptures, and architectural features.
 
Metaphysically, Banded Calcite is valued for its healing and spiritual properties. It enhances energy flow, clears negative energies, and supports emotional healing. Each color in Banded Calcite carries distinct benefits: green hues are linked to balance and calm, while pink tones are associated with love and compassion.
