History and folklore
Angelite is a trade name for blue anhydrite, and it is mostly mined in Peru. It forms when celestite is compressed over a very long time, which is why the two stones share a similar soft blue. The name was given in modern times, after a 1980s crystal conference, and so the folklore around it is new. Practitioners connect it with angels, guides and peaceful speech. It is a sweet, gentle stone for calm and kindness.
