History and folklore
Celestite was named in the late 1700s from the Latin caelestis, heavenly, for its soft sky color. Some of the most famous specimens come from Madagascar, where large geodes lined with blue crystals are found. In the Lake Erie region of Ohio there is even a cave lined with it, known as Crystal Cave. Modern witches link celestite with angels, peaceful dreams and gentle intuition. It is a stone to admire on a shelf rather than carry, because it is so delicate.
