A hand-carved angel in soft, tranquil blue, cut from angelite. At 3.5 cm, its gentle colour recalls a clear sky, making it a favourite for a meditation corner, a home altar or a desk.
Angelite, the soft-blue stone
Angelite is the pale-blue, gently coloured form of the calcium-sulphate mineral anhydrite. It is a relatively soft stone with a smooth, opaque surface, and it takes its name from its sky-like hue. In tradition it is known as a stone of gentleness, calm and comfort, associated with a light, airy sense of presence.
The angel as a symbol
The angel form is a quiet emblem of protection and support – a messenger from a higher realm. The soft blue of angelite suits this peaceful, sheltering image especially well, which is why many choose it for meditation or as a considerate gift.
Craft and size
The figurine is made from natural angelite and stands about 3.5 cm tall. As a genuine mineral, its shade and surface pattern vary from piece to piece; no two angels are exactly alike.
Where it belongs
It looks lovely on a bedside table, a bookshelf or in a meditation corner, and makes a pleasant gift for anyone fond of soft, pastel stones and angelic imagery.
Care
Angelite is soft and sensitive to water, so soaking is not advised. Keep it away from moisture, knocks and chemicals; a soft, dry cloth is the best way to clean it.
