AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Celestite cluster 2554 g
Dimensions 15.5 cm x 13.5 cm x 11.7 cm
A celestite cluster (also called celestite) is a stunning collection of soft blue, transparent crystals. The mineral derives its name from the Latin word caelestis, meaning 'heavenly,' a direct reference to the characteristic sky-blue color. These crystals often grow on the inside of geodes, which, when opened, are sold as dazzling clusters.
Features of a celestite cluster
• Color and form: The color ranges from very light, almost white‑blue to deeper sky blue. The crystals frequently have a striking, prismatic or tabular shape and a glassy luster.
• Origin: The absolute top-quality celestite clusters almost always come from Madagascar. Here, large geodes are found in sedimentary rocks that are hand-opened to reveal the fragile crystals.
• Fragility: Celestite is a relatively soft mineral (hardness 3 to 3.5 on the Mohs scale). It fractures and scratches easily, and thus should absolutely not be cleaned with water. The blue color can also fade over time when exposed to intense (sun)light.
Healing properties and symbolism (spiritual)
In crystal therapy and spiritual circles, celestite is known as the 'Angel Stone.' Various harmonizing properties are attributed:
• Inner peace: The stone is widely used in bedrooms or meditation spaces because it is said to emanate a calming, stress-relieving energy.
• Higher communication: The mineral is strongly connected to the throat chakra (communication) and the crown chakra (spiritual openness). It is said to help articulate your intuition clearly and to connect with a 'higher consciousness.'
