Calcite

Estos cristales tienen seis lados.

Entre los minerales con estructura cristalina hexagonal se encuentran la aguamarina, la esmeralda, las variedades de cuarzo, la turmalina, la calcita, el corindón, la hematita y el hielo.

Cueva Lechuguilla is located in the depths under the mountains of Guadalupe, in New Mexico, within the National Park of the Caverns of Carlsbad.

It extends along 152 miles, making it the ninth longest-explored cave in the world.

And the whole story is one mineral, calcite.

Calcium carbonate.

Calcite is the entire plot.

It reacts with acid.

That's not a flaw.

Now that we know what we're dealing with, let's get into what actually happens when a lemon meets a countertop.

The chemistry is straightforward.

Calcite plus acid gives you calcium ions, carbon dioxide, and water.

The rock feels solid, yet every bead hints at its long willingness to enter water in quantities almost beyond sensing.

Calcite dissolves through contact at the boundary between water and stone.

The process is influenced by acidity, temperature, movement, and the chemistry already carried within the water.

Once water contains enough dissolved material, its behavior can change, so every tiny passage has its own shifting chemical condition.

For group 1, we have lapis lazuli and the king of cups For group 2, we have citrine and the Page of Pentacles For group 3, we have Calcite and the King of Wands Notice if any of the numbers or words stood out to you as I said them In fact, I'll say them again You can pay attention to what you sense in your hearing Group 1, lapis lazuli, king of cups Group 2 citrine, page of pentacles Group 3 calcite, king of wands You don't have to think too hard Sometimes we just know what we have to go with So, you might want to go with your first impulse Since these are general readings sometimes more than one reading might resonate but just two different aspects of your life So you can keep that in mind and listen to all 3 readings if you like Now let's get into group 1's reading If you chose group 1, Lapis Lazuli or the King of Cups then this is your reading Hi group 1, welcome to your reading Today we're using the Rider Waite Smith tarot deck and let's go straight into your current energies If the cards here resonate, then you'll know that this is your reading Group 1, King of Cups, Lapis Lazuli Group 1, what do we need to know about your current situation, Group 1? You have the four of swords and it came out with the eight of cups like right behind it almost as if it's hiding which I think is quite significant You also have the page of swords with the two of swords What I'm getting from the Four of Swords and the Eight of Wands is it looks like you've been in a period of rest You could be really focused on your daily routines at this time and self care and just regulating your emotions and nervous system I just get this sense of quiet, quiet alone time This is actually building a lot of momentum toward something that you're wanting It might not look like that from the surface but it's generating a lot of movement forward The fact that you're taking care of yourself in this way You're allowing this period of rest This might be for the collective that got the Hermit card in the last hair video With the Page of Swords and the Two of Swords, there's something you can't quite see at the moment but you have ideas about it.

You're kind of like brainstorming Wondering, you just think about it lightly You think about it every now and then but it's still largely unclear what you're supposed to do or where you're supposed to go or what's next This could be about wanting to communicate with someone about something like share an idea but I don't think you've taken action on that yet You're just kind of... it's still an internal rumination as you're in this rest period with the Four of Swords Okay, tell us more spirit Tell us more about the Page of Swords 4 of swords.

There's a lot of swords energy but I'm not getting a lot of thoughts.
