Supply Chain for Blue Calcite

This Blue Calcite comes from artisanal miners in Madgascar.  The exact deposit is unknown, but it may come from the Norcross-Madagascar Calcite fields.  Artisanal mining for Calcite is largely unregulated, but typically has a low environmental impact and is relatively low risk for miners.

This lapidary hand polishes stones in Antananarivo, Madagascar. It is a woman-owned and family-run business. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The lapidary sells primarily at one major gem show in the United States. Every year the lapidary takes on a major charity project at a rural school. Previous projects have included installing bathrooms, creating a playground, and building a sunshelter for parents.

I first met the owner of the lapidary at the 2006 Gem and Mineral show in Tucson, Arizona. At that time I was working for a crystal shop in Utah and was at Tucson primarily as a “pack mule” to help carry all the stones. It was generally agreed by our crew that the “Madagascar” tent contained the most beautiful stones in the entire show.

In 2014, I embarked on my first buying trip for Moonrise Crystals. The company I knew of only as “Madagascar” was the one company I was most determined to find and buy from. This lapidary company only sells at a handful of major gem shows. The only time they are in the USA is for the Tucson Gem Show. During the rest of the year, the lapidary hand polishes their stock and also does charity work in their local community. They continue to offer some of the most beautiful tumbled stones in the industry and are among my favorite suppliers.

In 2019, Moonrise Crystals and the Madagascar lapidary company joined together to financially support a rural school in Madagascar. In 2022, we plan to build a library with books in Malagassi and French.

Calcite is a common stone that comes in every color, however the blue variety is quite rare. It is found in only a few locations and the shade of blue is often distinct enough that a stone’s country-of-origin can be determined by a glance.  Calcite typically forms in an opaque mass, but occasionally transparent crystals are found.  Blue Calcite is a phenomenal stone for writers and can help identify the precise words that are needed to convey an idea or create an image in another person’s mind.  It is also great for musicians who write their own music and have to find the right notes.  This precision of language can be harnessed by anyone to write powerful positive affirmations.
