Celestine is a mineral consisting of strontium sulfate (SrSO4). It 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." The mineral occurs as crystals. And also in compact massive, "and fibrous forms." It is found worldwide, mostly found in sedimentary rocks, usually in small quantities.
