Celestine

Heavenly Blue Celestite Mineral

Celestine also known as celestite is a relatively soft mineral so tends to be a stone that's mainly enjoyed by mineral collectors and those who use it in alternative therapies such as crystal healing.  The names celestine and celestite come from the Latin word "caelestis" meaning "of (or) in the heavens" and metaphorically can also mean "divine" or "god-like".  The names all stem from the minerals heavenly blue colour.

This rough celestine mineral exhibits large translucent crystals and sits quite comfortably either upright or on its side without having to be propped up.

This is the only piece of celestine that we currently have in our collection.
