Summary
Optical Calcite is a navigation stone. Also called Iceland spar, it splits light in two so that anything seen through it appears doubled, and legend holds that Viking sailors used such a sunstone to find the hidden Sun through cloud and twilight by the polarized light of the sky. It encourages forgiveness, release of envy and resentment, facilitates inner clarity, and aids in realizing deep-rooted problems causing bursts of anger or a hot temper.
