Pakistan is the only place in the world where Caribbean Calcite is found.
This new stone was only discovered in the last few years, and took the crystal world by storm in 2019.

Caribbean Calcite colouring can range from subtle shades of sky blue to bright, vibrant aqua hues.
Hints of mint green can be present, and the inclusions of white and brown Aragonite can occur in varied patterns of swirls, stripes, and bands.
Caribbean Calcite has a very tropical feel to it, with the blue elements looking similar to the sea, and the white and brown inclusions conjuring images of sand on the beach.
Many high grade Caribbean Calcite pieces have a similar colour to Larimar.
Natural Caribbean Calcite
Although this piece has been carefully hand polished, most Caribbean Calcite specimens display rough natural elements such as tiny crevices and holes, which sometimes have a druzy lining.
