This piece comes from Sakoany, Madagascar. This is a softer mineral (3-3.5 Mohs). Dry storage, gentle handling, and don't let it knock around with quartz or tourmaline.
Its name comes from Latin 'caelestis' meaning 'heavenly.' Most commercial celestite comes as distinctive blue crystal geodes from Madagascar.
Those who work with celestite often turn to it for quiet, steady calm, winding down and settling into rest, and a simple anchor during practice.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
