​Celestite Powder

Celestine, also known as celestite, is a mineral composed of strontium sulfate (SrSO₄). It is named after the Latin word "caelestis," meaning "celestial," due to its occasional delicate blue color.

Celestine is commonly found in sedimentary rock formations, particularly in evaporite deposits where large-scale precipitation from saline waters occurs. It can also be found in hydrothermal veins, volcanic rock cavities, and as a secondary mineral in limestone and dolomite.​​​​​​​

Uses​​​​​​​

Celestine is primarily mined for the production of strontium, which is used in the manufacture of glass for color television cathode ray tubes and in pyrotechnics for producing red flames.​​​​​​​

Due to its attractive blue color, celestine is occasionally used as a gemstone in jewelry.​​​​​​​

Large, well-formed celestine crystals are popular among mineral collectors.​​​​​​​

It is studied for understanding geological and environmental conditions in the areas where it is found.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
