These teardrop shaped bowls are made of a banded calcite that is sourced from Mexico. This material is also known as "Mexican onyx" although it is not a true onyx in composition. This calcite sometimes contains small amounts brown and/or white aragonite.
Each dish is unique in its bands, patterns and striations.
These charming vessels are perfect as trinket dishes, coin dishes, wrapped candy displays, jewelry bowls or home décor that stands on its own in beauty.
These bowls are not suitable as soap dishes or holding water and moisture for prolonged periods, as water will damage calcite over time. Keep acidic substances away from calcites as it will erode the material. Calcites will also become more brittle and fade in prolonged exposure to sunlight. These dishes are best placed primarily indoors or in dry, non-humid, shaded areas if kept outdoors.
In metaphysical circles, calcites are often associated with all things mind-related: intelligence, mental wellness, mental acuity, mental healing, mental focus, mental development, mental power, insight, and perception.
Brown calcites, in particular, symbolize happiness, negative energy removal, balance, stability, harmony, grounding, protection, prosperity. It's a wonderful stone that some believe aligns with the element of earth, the solar plexus chakra, the goddess Oya, the god Ifa, and the feelings of homesteading, positive energy shifting, and dynamic well-being.
This crystal is often used to channel energy to fulfill wishes and desires, break problematic patterns, and to focus on intentions to increase wealth, personal growth, and contentment.
