This is a stunning Celestite geode specimen with large, dreamy, sky-blue crystal points throughout. The natural exterior of the geode is in a raw, natural state that is not polished.
Celestine or celestite is a mineral consisting of strontium sulfate. The mineral is named for its occasional delicate blue color. Celestine and the carbonate mineral Strontianite are the principal sources of the element strontium, commonly used in fireworks and in various metal alloys.
Celestite comes from the Greek word heavenly. Metaphysical belief is that it is considered to be the stone sleep.
