Balancing the mental and emotional, calcite helps the mind and body to remember: the mind to remember information brought to bear during astral travel and channeling experiences -- and the body to remember the state of perfection during disease in order to return to the natural state of flawlessness.

Different colors of calcite also have their own healing properties, as well as their own symbolic attributes.

Green calcite has also been found useful in dealing with fears related to changing one's way of life and beliefs, as well as helping to release old mental patterns and accept healthier new ones as it alleviates fear and reduces stress.

On the physical side, green calcite has been considered a partner to osteopaths and chiropractors as it's thought to help heal bone and ligament trauma, sports injuries, arthritis and tendonitis. It's also used to heal allergies to toxic fumes and chemicals, as well as helping to remove them.
