HISTORY, FOLKLORE and OVERVIEW

Angelite, also called Angeline, is a trade name for a Blue - Grey variety of Anhydrite.  

You may have seen articles stating Angelite is formed when Celestite is compressed for millions of years.  We had read this in reputable crystal resources that we trust (including The Crystal Bible) and assumed it to be true.  After further research we have discovered that in fact Angelite is formed from dehydrated Gypsum (Selenite) rather than Celestite.  

Celestite's formula is SrSO4, Gypsum's formula is CaSO4·2H2O and Angelite is CaSO4, the same as Gypsum without H2O (water). Angelite (or Anhydrite as is it's technical name), is formed from Gypsum not Celestite, although, Celestite can be found growing alongside Gypsum, Anhydrite and Calcite.  

Both Gypsum (Selenite) and Anhydrite (Angelite) are both formed from evaporated sea water.  When Gypsum is compressed and looses it's water, Anhydrite is formed.  It is also found on the peaks of salt domes, typically salt is topped by a layer of Anhydrite, topped by Gypsum, topped by Calcite.  

Abraham Gottlob Werner, a German geologist discovered Anhydrite in 1804, he gave its name due to the absence of water within the stone.  It wasn't until 1987 when the blue-grey variety of Anhydrite, that we know as Angelite, was discovered in Peru by J.I. Koivula and R.C. Kammerling.   

Anhydrite and Gypsum are both used in construction materials and soil fertilisers.

CLEANSING:  Our favourite way to cleanse Angelite is taking it to the beach and holding it in the sea air.  Alternatively popping it outside, in a dry place, on a piece of Selenite, to be cleansed by the wind. 

CARE:  Take special care to protect Angelite.   Keep it away from water as it absorbs moisture at the drop of a hat and if exposed to water will transform to Gypsum.  Angelite is easily marred and should be protected from scratches, sharp blows or large temperature changes that will fracture, shatter or chip it.

ESSENTIAL OIL:  Our favourite essential oil to diffuse while using Angelite is Lemon Myrtle, an equaliser of relationships and helps accept each other
