The light blue A-grade Coelestine specimens from this mineral box are about 3 - 5cm in size.
Per box you get 10kg of Celestine druses; these are approx. 120 - 140 small geodes or fragments of geodes.
Locality of the crystal groups and druses of Coelestine: Northwest coast of Madagascar, at the Mahajanga/Skoany mine.
In 1798 Abraham Gottlob Werner named the mineral with the name Coelestine, which is still valid today; decisive for the naming is the Latin word "coelestis" (sky-blue), because Coelestine is very often found in this color. In mineralogical works also the spelling Cölestin or Zölestin can be found, but in expert circles Coelestine has prevailed.
