History: A theory exists that the sunstone (sólarsteinn) was used as a navigational instrument by seafarers in the Viking Age. The Norse sagas mention a mysterious "sunstone" used for navigation. Now a team of scientists claims that the sunstones could have been calcite crystals and that Vikings could have used them to get highly accurate compass readings even when the sun was hidden.
Metaphysical: Calcite is commonly believed to increase and amplify energy–energy of healing, learning and awareness. Calcite is not only an oft-used cleanser in the material word, it is also believed to be a spiritual cleanser that changes perspective and renews commitment to making change.
