AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A celestine specimen (also commonly referred to as celestite) is a highly sought-after mineral valued by collectors for its striking, delicate sky-blue color and beautiful crystal formations. Chemically composed of strontium sulfate (SrSO₄), its name is derived from the Latin word caelestis, meaning "celestial" or "heavenly," which perfectly describes its signature hue…

While it can form in white, gray, or yellow variations, it is most famous and widely sold in its pale to medium sky-blue variety…

Afghanistan & Pakistan: Famous for yielding unique, ultra-rare, and sharply terminated blue crystal points often sitting beautifully on a contrasting calcite matrix.
