Blue Celestite Geode from Madagascar
Blue Celestite Geode from Madagascar (12.8 pounds)
This just arrived, and this is a rushed video to show it off. I got this on eBay, and I only paid around $120 for it. I am more than happy with this item, and happy enough with the price I paid.

From Wiki: Celestine (the IMA-accepted name) or celestite is a mineral consisting of strontium sulfate (SrSO4). The mineral is named for its occasional delicate blue color. Celestine and the carbonate mineral strontianite are the principal sources of the element strontium, commonly used in fireworks and in various metal alloys.
Celestine occurs as crystals, and also in compact, massive, and fibrous forms. It is mostly found in sedimentary rocks, often associated with the minerals gypsum, anhydrite, and halite. On occasion in some localities, it may also be found with sulfur inclusions.
The mineral is found worldwide, usually in small quantities. Pale blue crystal specimens are found in Madagascar. White and orange variants also occurred at Yate, Bristol, UK, where it was extracted for commercial purposes until April 1991.
