History
Crazy Horse™ stone is the trade name for a calcite–a type of limestone material–showcasing a distinct appearance of brown, grey, tan with some mauve and pink color combinations. Calcites are a common mineral group, with high variability in color and form; Crazy Horse stone is only one type.
Metaphysical Properties
Calcites like Crazy Horse stone are said to aid memory and increase the strength of habits. Its worldwide distribution is considered to be a function of its universalism: it clears all chakras, raises overall body awareness and helps connect people and energy beings into a united network.
Although not a birthstone, Crazy Horse is affiliated with the zodiac sign Cancer. It has no particular associated chakra.
Geological Properties
One of calcite’s most fascinating properties is that it emits electrical impulses when placed under pressure. Otherwise, this highly common mineral is considered rather ordinary. It is the most common mineral in stalactites (which hang from the ceilings of caves) and stalagmites (which form on the floors of caves).
Crazy Horse stone’s blend of colors and patterns are due to the presence of aragonite and other trace minerals. Interestingly, calcite and aragonite are an odd set of almost-twin materials: they have the same chemical composition, but differ significantly in crystal structure.
Calcites are found in limestones, marbles and chalk matrices. Major deposits of Crazy Horse stone are found in China.
