Celestite Cluster 353g

For a room that needs to be calmer than it is.

Celestite grows in delicate sky-blue clusters inside geodes, and the colour is so soft it reads almost white in some light. It was named coelestis — heavenly — and it's hard to hold one and not understand why. Most of what's on the market comes from a single region in Madagascar, where the geodes form in sedimentary rock and are split open by hand.

It's strontium sulfate, which is also what puts the red in fireworks — an odd fact for a stone this gentle.

Celestite is worked with for peace, for gentle communication, and for connection to something larger than the immediate. It sits with the throat and crown. Most people keep it in a bedroom or a space set aside for rest rather than carrying it.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast.

Two cautions: it's fragile, and the blue fades in sun.
