Célestine Madagascar A (raw stone)

The celestine stone owes its name to the Latin caelesti, meaning celestial. In 1790, the German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth made his discovery in Madagascar. A year later, Abraham Gottlob Werner, a Saxon mineralogist and geologist, named this stone “celestine” because of its sky blue color. It is even nicknamed “stone of angels”.

However, this celestine stone was already widely used by the populations of ancient civilizations. We have very few references to it. Indeed, it was highly prized by magicians, mystics and alchemists of Antiquity. Thus, it seems that this celestine stone had strange, mystical powers and that it was kept hidden. It was reserved for followers of occult sciences, who transformed it into powder, elixir, essence, in liquid or solid form. At that time, it was even believed to have relaxing powers.

Celestine is a stone belonging to the sulfate group. It is one of the most common sulfates in nature. It is composed of strontium sulfate, a mineral with a dense and fibrous constitution.

It is a fragile and sometimes porous stone, which appears in the form of crystals, in compact massive or fibrous form.

If this celestine stone is discovered in rocks of sedimentary origin, it is common to associate it with limestone rocks. Thus, it can be found in the form of splendid geodes of elongated prismatic crystals. Many celestines exposed to violet rays show fluorescent qualities.
