DescriptionIn ancient Greece celestite was believed to possess protective qualities, it was used to guard against evil spirits and negative energies. It was also thought to bring good luck and fortune and protection to those who possessed it. During the Roman Empire, celestite was considered a powerful stone for communication and was used to enhance one’s ability to speak clearly and persuasively. It was also believed to promote harmony and peace in relationships.The subtle, baby blue hue of this stone is where Celestite got its name. The Celestite crystal meaning comes from the Greek word heavenly. When it was originally discovered in 1791, it was named Fasriger Schwerspath. And that mouthful didn’t get much better in 1797, when it was renamed Schwefelsaurer Strontianite Aus Pennsylvania. The next year, thankfully, it was named Zoelestine, which is the German spelling that’s based on the Greek word for “of the sky”. And that’s how it finally came to be Celestine, which later became the now popularized, Celestite.Celestite occurs in blue, transparent crystals found in clumps or geodes in Britain, Madagascar, Egypt, Mexico, and Peru. It is sometimes called the Stone of Heaven, said to have been created from the song of the angelic choirs. It is traditionally used in astral travel. Alleged to jump start spiritual development, to help open lines of communication.chakra: throat Element: water, air Astrological Signs: Libra, Cancer Planet: Neptune, Venus.
