Celestite, also known as Celestine, is revered for its high frequency, Divine energies, and is known as a powerful healing crystal.  Celestite has been called a “teacher for the New Age", as it will connect one with the Angelic realms, allowing for the free-flow of these higher frequencies into the Crown and Third-Eye Chakras, and also down into the Throat Chakra for expression.  Bringing mental calm and clarity in the midst of any chaotic circumstance, Celestite can allow one to easily flow through a traumatic period and still come out on top.

Celestite can relieve stress, anxiety and obsessive behaviors.  It is a perfect piece to carry for those who are singers, actors or speakers, as the energy will alleviate any type of stage fright or nervousness.  Celestite brings harmony, balance, and will assist the holder in finding and maintaining inner peace.  Its ability to heighten divine intuition makes Celestite especially useful for Reiki practice.  

A stone for peace and harmony, Celestite has the potential to bring these qualities into daily living.  Celestite is a great facilitator for deep states of meditation, helping to calm the mind and open it to communication from the higher realms.  Celestite is a perfect companion to use during dream time.  It will assist in recalling not only the dream, but also the specific details of the dream.  Information imparted during the dream state will also be recalled with perfect clarity.

Physically, Celestite sends energy to the organs of the higher chakras, aiding the healing of disorders such as brain imbalances, cellular disorders, and ailments of eyes, ears, nose, and throat.  Celestite can also act as a detoxifier and pain reliever.

Please note that Celestite is very fragile, and should be handled carefully.  Do not keep these clusters in direct sunlight, as their color will fade.
