Large Celestite Specimen

This is a large celestite specimen for the seriously adoring celestite collector. We have sold several as a special coffee table piece.

These are held in a delicate matrix so no soaking in water to cleanse. Enjoy this video of it.

A great handful to hold, when I bought my own several years ago it was so activating to my Third Eye that I sat their in wonder of all the graphics spinning through my mind and quite unable to sleep!

You may love to have one because of its ability to bring a calm, centred and uplifted feeling into the emotional body. It helps one to feel safe and protected and can overcome fear or paranoia. Have sold many for those who need reminded to let the Divine Feminine in to support themselves and as crystals to hold to receive messages from angels and departed loved ones. You can read here about the healing properties of the shape too.

This celestite specimen is reserved for the web as we have several others at the shops. If you have collected larger amethyst, selenite and clear quartz pieces then this large one will fit along side them perfectly.
