BLUE ANHYDRITE ANGELITE SPHERE CALMING AND SOOTHING 71 MM 546 G

Anhydrite's main feature is that there is completely no water in the composition of the stone which is reflected in the Greek name of the mineral ("an"-"hydras" means no water). If you lower the anhydrite into water, it will increase in volume and turn into gypsum. The color of the mineral can be white, gray or with a blue tinge, anhydrites with a reddish tinge are extremely rare. 

Anhydrite's trade name is Angelite. The mineral is a form of anhydrite, which is a crystal made of calcium sulfate. The crystals are formed in places where gypsum stones had previously been in contact with water, which then evaporates, leaving anhydrite crystals behind. The stone is formed from celestite (another form of gypsum) that has been compressed for many millions of years. Anhydrite gypsum was originally found in Peru. It has since been found in Britain, Germany, Poland, Libya, Russia and Mexico.

Angelite is thought to improve spirituality and spiritual awareness, with a peaceful energy that is calming and soothing. Many believe it promotes communication and self-express while dispelling fear, anger and anxiety.
