Two minerals in one piece

Pale blue calcite marbled with brown aragonite - the combination is what the trade name describes. The proportion differs in every piece cut.

Hand-carved to an obelisk

Four faces rising to a point, polished on each. The banding runs through the form rather than along it.

A soft stone

Calcite is around 3 on the Mohs scale and scratches with a fingernail edge. Dust it dry - water and anything acidic will dull the polish.

Three things tell you more about a tower than its price.

Height. The dimension listed on each page is the one to check against the shelf you have in mind. Towers photograph larger than they are.

The stone. Amethyst, obsidian, labradorite and the rest look nothing alike, and each varies from piece to piece. Colour, banding and inclusions are properties of the stone, not flaws in the cutting.

Cut and finish. A polished point catches light along its faces. A rougher finish keeps more of the original surface. This is a matter of taste and of where the piece will stand.

Natural stone is never uniform, and the piece you receive will not be identical to the photograph. That variation is the material, not a defect.

Light, but not full sun

The faces take the light one at a time, so a point on a shelf changes through the day. Keep it out of direct sun though: amethyst and rose quartz both fade.

Named, treatment and all

Undyed is written undyed. Where the colour comes from a metal coating, the page says so, because that is the part nobody else tells you.

No two points alike

Banding, colour zoning, a tip a degree off centre. That unevenness is what tells you it is stone and not resin, and it is why yours is yours.

Frequently asked questions

What is Caribbean calcite?

A trade name for a stone combining pale blue calcite with brown aragonite. It appeared on the market relatively recently and is sold under this name almost universally.

Is it rare?

It comes from a limited source, which is why it is often described as rare. We would not lean on that word - supply has been steady enough for the stone to be widely available.

Is it fragile?

Yes. Calcite is soft - around 3 on the Mohs scale - and scratches with a fingernail edge. It is a shelf stone, not one to handle constantly.

How should it be cleaned?

A dry cloth. Calcite reacts with acids, including anything in household cleaners and even prolonged water, which will dull the polish.

Cut from rough, not grown

A tower starts as a block of rough stone. It is sawn to a rough shape, ground to its faces, then polished by hand through finer and finer grits. The faces are never perfectly equal and the point is rarely perfectly centred - that unevenness is what tells you it is stone and not resin.

What the colour is telling you

Some of these stones are exactly what they look like. Others are quartz with a metal coating applied under heat, which is where the iridescent blues and violets come from. Neither is a lesser stone, but only one of them is a natural colour, and we say which is which on every listing.
