Beautiful minerals born from the earth
Japanese name: Celestite
English name: celestite
A beautiful blue-grey solid with highly transparent crystals.
A relatively new mineral discovered in Sicily, Italy in 1781.
It was named celestite by the German mineralogist Werner. The origin of the word celestite is said to be from "celestial," meaning "the color of the sky," but there is also a theory that it comes from the Latin word "coelestis," meaning heaven.
This piece is not a sphere like the typical celestite geode, but has a shape that allows the crystals to be clearly seen and is perfect for displaying and enjoying.
