Cobaltoan Calcite, also known as Cobalt Calcite and Aphrodite Stone, is an uncommon variety of Calcite that has Cobalt impurities.

Cobalt Calcite is prized for vivid pink to deep rose coloration, often with soft banding or cloudy patterns, and a smooth, glossy polish. Physically, cobalt calcite is a calcium carbonate mineral colored by trace amounts of cobalt, giving it its distinctive vibrant hue and gentle translucence. Energetically, it is strongly associated with the heart chakra and is believed to support emotional healing, self-love, compassion, and the release of old emotional wounds. Cobalt calcite is often called a stone of nurturing and emotional renewal, helping to soothe anxiety, encourage forgiveness, and restore a sense of inner peace while radiating warm, loving energy.
