Collection: Angelite

Angelite is a stone which owes its name to the English expression “the angel stone”, which literally means the stone of angels. It is part of the anhydrite family, which comes from the Greek name “anhudros” and which is translated "without water”. It is impossible to precisely date its appearance and we have no legend relating to this stone.

This stone is commonly used in jewelry in the form of cabochon, inlaid in a piece of jewelry. Its particular blue color easily distinguishes it from other stones. Its blue can be nuanced, it can be either light or dark. But whatever it is, this color on jewelry calls out and leaves no one indifferent. Moreover, there is a choir called Angelite, Les Voix Bulgares, because these voices evoke those of angels.

Angelite stone is a crystal essentially composed of calcium sulfate. It is a type of natural sulfate, generally milky blue in color. The intensity of its blue is mainly due to its composition and its geographical origin. However, it is possible that in certain cases, the angelite stone may have a white, pink or purple color. This phenomenon occurs in the presence of metals, thus modifying its color. Stone lovers and connoisseurs are more sensitive to the various blues of angelite stone.
