Regarded as a mineral, celestine consists mostly of strontium sulfate. Its origins, in fact, lie in sedimentary soils, where there is gypsum but also limestone and sulfur. Alternatively, its origins can also be hydrothermal. Visually it has a characteristic color that changes from light blue to mother of pearl. It is a hard stone, with elongated prismatic crystals that can often take the tubular shape. Despite its heaviness and its appearance, celestine is a very fragile stone, which is affected if exposed to excessive heat sources.
Due to its very particular color and shape, celestine was considered in ancient times as a stone capable of elevating the people who carried it to heaven. Precisely for this reason, it is considered as the stone of the angels.
In fact, it would be a very vibrant stone that would allow you to get in touch with your guiding spirit. Thanks to the stone it could facilitate the opening of the third eye. In fact, it is precisely the healers who also use it for its properties to eliminate negative energies. Healing and the removal of negativity also happens thanks to dreams. In addition to spirituality, however, celestine can also have beneficial effects on the body and mind as it is widely used in crystal therapy.
The benefits it would bring to the body could mainly concern relaxation: tensions are dissolved such as, for example, headaches. Psychophysical fatigue could be stemmed thanks to the intervention of celestine which facilitates the detox of the body. Furthermore, if you suffer from eye disorders, celestine can also affect them.
As for the effects on the psyche, celestine can purify and regenerate, reducing the stress that accumulates in particular moments of life. In fact, it facilitates a harmonious vision with the universe. From the personal point of view, it increases creativity and is very useful for artists. It would also allow to obtain a greater awareness of oneself but also a clarity in expressing one’s thoughts. Pain, thanks to celestine, could turn into light and energy. In addition, it stimulates dreams, especially prophetic ones.
How to use and where is celestine

In order to release its beneficial effects on the body and mind, celestine should be carried with you, preferably in close contact with the skin. If you have any thyroid problems, a celestine in the form of a necklace may help. Otherwise, a therapy can be carried out which includes the positioning of the stone on the part to be treated, for at least a quarter of an hour a day. Putting it around your neck as a pendant would also stimulate the clarity of your communication.
In addition to contact with the skin, celestine can also be kept as an ornament. For example, if you place it on the bedside table in the bedroom, it could ensure clearer dreams. If, on the other hand, you want to use it when meditating, it is better to associate it with selenite. This use will allow you to get in touch with the kingdoms of angels. Its effect can be accentuated by using it in combination with aragonite and angelite.
After it has been used, the celestine must be discharged. To do this, you can use running water. In general, it should be stored in clean environments or away from magnetic fields and stagnation of any negative energies. If you can’t help but keep it in such environments, you can remedy it by cleaning it often. As well as under running water, it can be recharged if placed on the amethyst druse. Charging can also take place under the moon’s rays. The celestine could be damaged if exposed to excessive heat sources. That’s why it should be kept out of direct sunlight. Purification, as with the vast majority of stones used in crystal therapy, can be done through incense. It is more of a ritual than a useful gesture in itself.

How much does celestine cost
Before deepening the economic discourse, it must be said that the celestine came to light, for the first time, in 1790. Its name derives from the Latin caelestis which refers, in fact, to its color. In addition to light blue / blue (often tending to gray), celestine, in rare cases, can also be found in nature in yellow, orange or red.
According to some legends, this stone, in ancient times, was part of a set of stars that made up the celestial wisdom.
Celestine can be purchased in all stores that sell stones, in ethnic ones or online. Its price is very affordable and for a large portion it does not exceed 10/15 euros.
