Celestite, also known as celestine, is a delicate blue mineral that is a form of strontium sulfate (SrSO4). The name “celestite” comes from the Latin word “caelestis”, which means “heavenly” or “of the sky”, referring to its beautiful blue color. Celestite geodes are spherical formations of celestite crystals that are found inside hollow cavities in rock formations. They are often found in sedimentary rocks such as limestone and can range in size from small, palm-sized geodes to large geodes that can be several feet in diameter. The crystals that form inside the geode are usually well-formed and are a beautiful blue color. Celestite is considered a “stone of the angels” and many people believe that it has spiritual and healing properties. It is said to have a calming and soothing energy that can help to promote peace and tranquility. It is also believed to enhance psychic abilities and to help with communication with the angelic realm. In addition to its spiritual properties, celestite is also said to have physical healing properties. It is believed to be helpful for issues related to the throat and the ears, and is said to be beneficial for those who suffer from headaches or insomnia. Celestite geodes can be used in a variety of ways, including as decorative items, in meditation and energy healing practices, and in crystal grids. They make a beautiful addition to any home or office and are highly sought after by mineral collectors and crystal enthusiasts.
