The scientific name of this mineral is anhydrite โ a sedimentary mineral classified as a sulfate.
With its delicate pastel shades of sky blue and lavender, it is a highly valued gemstone. Due to its light blue color, anhydrite was given the poetic name “Angelite”, meaning “Stone of Angels”.
Angelite’s history begins in Mexico, where it was first discovered. The locals believe this stone is a gift from the gods, bringing happiness, prosperity, and protection. In rituals and ceremonies, it was used to seek the guidance of spiritual forces and protect against negative energies and evil spirits.
Today, angelite is widely used in jewelry, especially for necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings. Thanks to its soft hues, it is highly sought after by collectors and jewelers. It is also widely applied in meditation and therapy, as its energy is believed to calm the mind, reduce stress, and bring harmony.
