What is Angelite Crystal?

Angelite stone is a natural gemstone variety of Anhydrite, exhibiting a blue-grey color, typically opaque to semi-translucent in clarity. Because of Angelite's appearance, we're often asked: Are Angelite and Celestite the same? Although they share a similar color, similar Mohs hardness, and some of the same metaphysical properties, Angelite should not be confused with Celestite (aka Celestine), since Celestite is part of the Baryte Group of minerals.

What is Angelite Used For?

Angelite stone is known as a crystal of the Astral, Celestial, and Angelic realms, the Air element, and is associated with the Higher Chakras (Throat Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, and Crown Chakra). Used for spiritual healing, promoting the virtues of the Higher Self, and receiving hidden wisdom, as well as spirit communication, Angelite is considered an exceptionally powerful crystal with many blessings to share. The meaning of Anhydrite Angelite crystal is positive guidance and spiritual growth, making it a wonderful stone for mentors and teachers to give as gifts for students.

How to Cleanse Angelite

Since it's extremely soft on the Mohs scale (3 - 3.5 on average), care must be taken with how to cleans Angelite. Can Angelite get wet? A short dip followed by immediate towel drying won't melt your Angelite, but we strongly advise against long-term submersion since this will further soften your Angelite crystal and make it easier to scratch or break. Selenite tiles and Full Moonlight are the best methods for spiritually cleansing and charging this crystal, although Smoke Cleansing with Sage, Incense, or dried herbs is also completely safe.
