PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Celestite from Madagascar
Celestite from Madagascar is renowned for its stunning sky-blue crystals and exceptional clarity. Typically forming in geodes or clusters, these crystals exhibit a brilliant glassy luster and are often found within a limestone matrix. Madagascar's deposits, particularly from Sakoany, produce some of the finest Celestite specimens, featuring well-formed prismatic crystals radiating from the geodes. With sizes ranging from small hand-held pieces to larger decorative formations, these crystals are highly prized by collectors for their beauty and purity. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Celestite is valued for its strontium content, used in various industrial applications.
