This is a soft and gentle heart of Rainbow Calcite of brown stripes and I used Shell beads with a double strand to compliment the hand carved Heart. It has a sterling silver bail with rhinestones and a sterling silver toggle. It is approximately 19" long and the heart hangs down another 2".

Calcite gem stone
This transparent crystal can be found in a variety of colors including clear, green, pink, orange and blue. It forms within the veins of huge slabs of limestone. Geologists have found evidence of yellow calcite dating back millions of years. When yellow calcite occurs in combination with brown aragonite and other minerals, it is called septarian.
Calcite meaning in folklore
Calcite is considered a powerful amplifier and cleanser of various types of energies. It was used for thousands of years as lime in folk medicine. It has been used as a poultice for skin disease, warts, ulcers and wounds. It is said to assist in the transformation of ideas into action.
