CELESTITE

Celestite, which is also known as Celestine, is occasionally found in
highly compressed masses that resemble Angel wings - these specimens
are referred to as Angelite. Regardless of it's name, it is a
Strontium Sulfate, and in its purest form it is crystal clear;
although the most well known color is a soft baby blue. The blue may
be caused by the natural irradiation of gold into the mineral. But
it is also found in white, gray or a greenish blue color; the presence
of Barium will turn it a brown, orange or yellow color.
Darker blue celestite is generally found to be more expensive than the
pale blue variety, regardless of availability. Celestite is a mineral
in it's own right and is often confused with quartz.
Due to the fact that the sites where blue celestite is found, have
almost been exhausted, rock crystal is vapor-blasted with gold and
offered as a gemstone named Aqua Aura. The effect and sparkle are
similar to that of celestite but not quite as strong.
Mystical
Properties:
Celestine is an extremely popular tool for use in communication with
angelic and other spirit guides. This is a crystal that will
instantly life you above the mundane, once it has caught your eye.
Mediation with celestite will open a clear channel of communication,

love. It will teach you the peaceful trust in acknowledging and
accepting that each of us is part of the Divine Plan, and that it is
the ebb and flow of ones life which propels you to where you need to
be.
Use this stone to assist one in remembering dreams, keep a stone under
your pillow and a dream journal beside your bed, each night request
the aid of the crystal in remembering and each morning just as you
awake, write what your memory brings. As dreams are tools to the
subconscious uses to help the physical and the conscious heal and
evolve, this stone will enhance the process through more lucid
dreaming, keeping dream records and as a communication channel between
the two realms.
Astral Travelers can use the crystal to improve accuracy in achieving
pre-determined destinations.
Healing
Properties:
Celestite is known to ease stress in the physical body and is useful
in preventing diseases brought on by worry.
It has been used to improve eyesight and hearing, and to promote
eloquence. One might ease the pain of a sore throat by placing the
crystal on the afflicted area. It is also believed to aid with the
functioning of the thyroid gland, as well as to relieve digestive
problems and eliminate toxins from the physical form.
Celestite should be cleanse in a bowl of tumbled hematites, if it has
points, the points must be positioned so that the points always point
towards the sky. These crystals will only need recharging
occasionally, which should be done briefly in the sun. Be careful not
to leave your stone too long in the sun, as it may cause discoloration
of the celestite.
Magical
Properties:
Celestite is worn or often carried to aid in creating eloquence and to
promote compassion for the earth and our fellow creatures. It has
been used to relieve headaches as well as tension in the body, for it
removes stress from the physical form.
