Black calcite is an empowering friend and is often selected for its grounding and protection and I recommend it in times you feel emotionally vulnerable. The calcite family is a powerful cleanser of negative energetic blocks and known for restoring mental clarity and black calcite is supportive for transitioning between endings and beginnings and stepping into the unknown. 

 

Sometimes it is referred to as Master Shamanite which is a trademarked name to enhance its selling, however it does support some shamanic practises and is supportive for journeying, soul retrieval and connecting with the ancestors when one needs their guidance and strength. It is a powerful guide if you feel drawn to do ancestral healing or past life healing assisting in finding and transforming the root cause.
