Rainbow Calsilica Cabochons - Lot #26  

Rainbow Calsilica is said to provide a path to inner wisdom and truth. Because each colour is believed to be connected to a specific energy and chakra, each of this gemstone's rainbow colours stimulates the related chakras to influence the emotional state as well as actions derived from the emotional state.

Rainbow calsilica is a man-made material created for the gemstone market from carbonate rock (aka calcite or powdered limestone) and plastic set in resin and coloured by artificial colouring pigments. Since its first appearance in 2002, rainbow calsilica has been the subject of debate over whether it was naturally occurring or artificial, with some trying to pass it off as natural, claiming deposits were found in China, Brazil, Mexico and the Middle East. Rainbow calsilica gets its name from its layers of vibrant colours spanning the visible spectrum as well its composition of calcite and silica, found in quartz and a major component of sand. Cut into beads, cabochons and other jewelry-making components, rainbow calsilica is very desirable because of its bold, beautiful bands of colours.
