Celestite from Sakoany deposit, Madagascar

Celestite from Sakoany deposit, Katsepy Commune, Mitsinjo District, Boeny, Madagascar

Bright blue Celestite specimens from Madagascar.

While Madagascar is the most common locale for the majority of Celestite sold online, it is rarely so well labelled. The pieces are typically just identified as being from 'Madagascar', rather than a specific mine.

The pieces are fragmentary crystals, and rather small - they will make fine micromount/thumbnail specimens.
