Description from the seller
Celestine derives from the Latin term caelestis (celeste), referring to the color of the crystals.
It presents as colorless or slightly bluish tabular crystals, usually in limestone and sedimentary rocks, associated with gypsum, anhydrite, rock salt and sulfur. It is also found in other habits: prismatic, acicular, tabular (red, white or blue), fibrous, coarse, granular and massive.
Celestine can have a hydrothermal origin, in association with galena and sphalerite, or a sedimentary evaporitic origin from the evaporation of saline waters in association with sulfur, gypsum, aragonite, chlorides and other typical minerals.
Form in which it occurs in nature
Generally in elongated prismatic crystals, sometimes tabular, colorless or milky white, yellowish, blue, in radiating or parallel aggregates, massive or concretionary.
Beautiful celestine, from Madagascar.
