Angelite
Authentic natural minerals, thoughtfully sourced and individually photographed.
Angelite is the trade name for a pale blue variety of anhydrite, a calcium sulfate mineral with the formula CaSO₄. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system and registers just 3–3.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it a relatively soft and delicate stone that requires careful handling. Angelite's signature glacier-blue color is caused by trace amounts of celestine (strontium sulfate) within its structure. The primary commercial source is Peru, where it was first marketed in the 1980s.
As a variety of anhydrite, angelite is the dehydrated form of gypsum — literally "without water" — and it is not water safe. Prolonged exposure to water will cause angelite to rehydrate and convert back to gypsum, damaging the stone's surface and polish. This is an important care consideration for collectors. Despite its softness, angelite is valued for its serene, opaque blue color that is unlike virtually any other affordable mineral on the market. It takes a smooth, matte-to-waxy polish and is frequently carved into decorative shapes.

Angelite
Angelite is the trade name for anhydrite — calcium sulfate that crystallized without water — found in its blue-grey form near Lima, Peru. It's a geological curiosity: given long exposure to moisture it slowly transforms into gypsum, a different mineral entirely. Keep it dry.
Let customers speak for us
LOVE IT. Colors are absolutely beautiful, the fit is perfect, and I'm so glad to say that I'm happy with the size of the crystals - I was afraid I wouldn't like to smaller size as I'm used to 8 mm.
This necklace is beautiful. They were out of it, but I love the substitution. All their jewelry is beautiful.
Love it so much! Looks and feels wonderful.
It's incredibly beautiful. Love that different aspects of it are highlighted in different lighting - in a bright setting you see a million tiny quartz on top that you would never know were there in the lower lighting setting. My favorite is the amazing combination of sections that sparkle and sections that are smooth and gleaming. Looks and feels wonderful. Perfectly packed too.
Love the scent, it's wonderful, and thank goodness for it as it gets rid of the odors that come in from outside, and is healthy because of the materials. Looks nice too.
Smells dreamy, is super relaxing, and is healthy because of the materials. Looks nice too.
