Look at this blue marvel! Celestite (also known as Celestine) is one of those crystals most people don’t know they know. The name might draw a blank, but as soon as they see it they’re all like, “Ohhhhhhhh! I love that one!”
There’s something elegant about Celestite that a lot of other minerals don’t possess. The way the crystals form in thick stacks within the geode almost contradict their delicate lightness. Speaking of, Celestite is fairly delicate, so expect some crumbles if handled a lot.
A lot of Celestite forms in marine environments after water evaporates, making underwater caves a common environment to find it. The irony is that Celestite will slowly dissolve in water, so treat it like a Gremlin.
Many folks associate Celestite with water or air energy, but it’s a primal source of Strontium and commonly crushed for use in fireworks, as Strontium is what helps create the red color in a fireworks display. Its calming presence belies the fiery ability to explode. And it that wasn’t enough, the single-celled organism, Acantherea, has a skeleton composed entirely of Celestite.
Some folks love Celestite for spirit communication as it connects the throat to the third eye and crown chakras.
I’ve seen a lot of Celestite in my day, and this piece is a stunner. It has a beautiful curve to it that allows it to be displayed with all its crystals in full view. You can find rainbows in some of the larger crystals. It’s a centerpiece for sure.
One cool thing is there’s a large crystal on its side that can be completly removed and placed right back in.
Place Celestite wherever you want a calm undercurrent around you. A bedroom works well. It’s a great dream crystal.
