Celestite (also known as Celestine) is a strontium sulfate mineral with an orthorhombic crystal system and a hardness of 3 to 3.5. It forms both tabular and prismatic crystals. The main location it’s found is Madagascar, but a significant deposit was found in Ohio in 1996. Celestite offers a gentle, uplifting energy which can raise and expand one’s awareness into the higher realms. It is one of the most effective stones for accessing the angelic realm and can facilitate communication between oneself and one’s guardian angels or angelic guides. It stimulates the third eye and crown chakras and the etheric chakras above the head. It is a soft stone both physically and energetically. As it elevates one’s awareness, Celestite makes one feel as if one is floating on a cloud rather than zooming in a rocket. Madagascar’s Blue-gray Celestite comes primarily in clusters, and it is ideal for placement in one’s bedroom, healing room or meditation space, as an environmental cleanser and source of soft, positive energies. Its vibrations radiate in all directions, making it wonderful to have around, although it is somewhat less useful for healing or meditation work that requires focus on specific chakras or meridian points. For these applications, single crystals of Ohio Celestite are much preferred. When used with Ascension stones, Celestite will amplify the other stones energies and bring vibrational elevation and balance to the blend.
