Pierre Angelite: Virtues of the Angelite
Angelite is a rare blue andradite found only in Peru. It is a fragile stone that crumbles easily and can only be extracted by hand. Like all andradites, it grows in a dry desert environment and water will damage it. The gentle energy of angelite was first explored in the late 1980s, during a global meditation event for world peace. Participants gathered in special locations around the world, including Manchu Pichu in Peru. It continues to be the favorite stone of all those seeking peace, whether on a personal or global level. She reminds us that there is a big difference between creating real peace and simply "keeping the peace" and letting problems fester. Angelite connects us to our guardian angels and helps us become the best version of ourselves.

Emotional healing properties
Angelite has a gentle but strong vibration that brings immense tranquility. It reduces anger and fear and increases our emotional intelligence. It alleviates pain and confusion, especially when caused by acts of cruelty. Angelite helps us understand why cruel behavior occurs and have compassion for the person who is acting cruelly. However, English also helps us understand the effects of cruelty on ourselves and others, protect the innocent, and hold good people accountable for their actions. It encourages us to forgive, but not to be blind. Angelite teaches us to cultivate true peace, rather than “keeping the peace” while allowing bad behavior to continue. It is extremely useful in dealing with narcissists or their accomplices. Angelite helps us accept what cannot be changed, while ensuring we prepare ourselves for peace and success. If we have been seriously injured, Angelite helps us recognize good people and healing activities that will allow us to find peace of heart.

It is an exceptionally excellent stone to bring to peace talks and to resolve issues in our community. Angelite is also a gentle stone for dream work. It can help us remember and understand hidden messages in our dreams, as well as encourage lucid dreaming. Angelite is a wonderful talisman for mathematicians and students of mathematics. It helps us understand symbols and abstract thoughts in a logical and coherent way.
Physical healing properties
Angelite is a very calming stone when we are feeling anxious or depressed due to a serious injury or illness. Angelite helps us communicate our feelings and seek comfort in a healthy way. It is particularly useful for people who tend to eat emotionally and struggle with the resulting weight gain. Angelite validates our feelings and validates our need for appropriate comfort. Angelite is recommended after chemotherapy or other major health care, to help us trust the healing processes intended to restore us to health. It is also recommended when we have lost, temporarily or permanently, sensory perceptions such as sight or hearing and we feel, rightly, frightened or demoralized. Angelite is a lovely talisman when we have broken bones or our joints are stiff from arthritis. It encourages us to move gently and slowly regain a greater range of motion. The Angelite asks us to trust in miracles and modern medicine. But above all, L'Angelite asks us to trust our own ability to adapt and find peace, no matter what.
MINERALOGY OF ANGELIC
Where does Angelite come from?
Angelite is the trade name for a blue andradite found in Peru. Blue andradite is also found in Egypt, Germany, Libya, Mexico, Poland and the United Kingdom.
Operation and processing
Anhydrite is a fragile mineral that must be mined by hand. Most anhydrite is mined on an industrial scale where it is reduced to dust. It is widely used for fertilizers and as a drying agent in paints.
Angelite is a natural mineral enhanced only by cutting and polishing. But the blue coloring is only a thin shell, rather than extending throughout the stone. If Angelite is handled too roughly, the blue will crumble and expose the underlying white anhydrite .
Mineral family
Angelite is soft blue anhydrite, which is a sulfate mineral. Sulfates are a group of minerals whose crystal structure has four oxygen atoms forming a square with a sulfur atom in the center. There are approximately 200 types of sulfates, with gypsum and barite being very common and the others being quite rare. One of these rare varieties is anhydrite, which is essentially gypsum from which all the water has been leached. Anhydrite can be colorless, white, pink, blue, purple, brown, red or gray. The pale blue variety is called Angelite.
Angelite's energy works well with its family - the other sulfate minerals. Try it in combination with barite, celestine and selenite.
Formation of Angelite and associated crystals
Angelite is blue anhydrite, a type of mineral that is created when gypsum loses water. Anhydrite is commonly found in evaporation deposits, especially salt deposits, where it forms in coarse crystalline blocks. Individual crystals are rare and, when found, are usually tabular. While colorless and brown anhydrite are quite common, blue anhydrite (Angelite) is much rarer.
Angelite's energy works well with its "friends" - associated crystals formed in the same geological environment. Try it in combination with celestine and magnesite .
Angelite and water
All forms of anhydrite should be kept out of water. If left to soak, it will absorb water and turn into gypsum!

HISTORY OF ANGELITE
Angelite is a relatively “new” healing stone whose healing properties have only recently been explored. It was first recorded in 1987 and its metaphysical properties were explored later that year at Harmonic Convergence, the world's first synchronized meditation event. The Harmonic Convergence was an earth-centered ceremonial event tied to the Mayan calendar. The event took place exactly 25 years before the end of the Mayan calendar and was intended to usher in a new era of peace. Participants meditated at holy sites around the world, including Uluru (Australia), Stonehenge (UK), Pyramid of the Sun (Mexico), Mount Shasta (US), Stoney Medicine Wheel (Canada) and Machu Pichu (Peru). Participants in Peru brought Angelite to Manchu Pichu and used them during the meditation ceremony. They felt a celestial energy coming from the stone and named it Angelite.
