Each piece runs 1-1.50 inches at Mohs 3-3.5, fully natural and untreated; handle gently. A favorite stress relief stone for meditation spaces.
Celestite grows in delicate sky-blue crystals, usually inside a geode. The color is unmistakable and the crystals are soft, which is why most of the pieces we carry come from geodes where the crystals are protected.
Sourced directly from Sakoany, Madagascar. At 3-3.5 on the Mohs scale, it's on the softer end. Keep it away from water and store it separately from harder pieces.
Its name comes from Latin 'caelestis' meaning 'heavenly.' Most commercial celestite comes as distinctive blue crystal geodes from Madagascar.
Celestite has long been used in practices around quiet, steady calm, winding down and settling into rest, and a simple anchor during practice. It's traditionally linked to the throat and crown chakras. If that resonates, hold it for a few breaths before a conversation that matters. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
