Celestine
This mineral might look peaceful and serene as a celestial blue sky, but it packs a secret punch: Despite being known for its calming blues, it’s our main source of strontium, the element used to make the brilliant reds that blaze our skies in flares and fireworks. Not only that, but celestine geodes people think of as popular little paperweights can be absolutely gargantuan: The largest geode ever discovered is celestine, and it’s so huge, entire groups of people can walk through it at once! This mineral, then, is a perfect reminder that even those who seem small, calm, or unthreatening can be capable of going huge and can create some pretty spectacular explosions. If it’s coming up for you now, celestine might be nudging you to take a look at your own temper. If you’re too attached to heavenly peace, you may want to cultivate some healthy anger. It’s good to see red from time to time when we need to protect ourselves or others. On the other hand, too much anger can cause a lot of harm itself and hurt the very causes we’re trying to support. When it comes to temper, balance is key, and calm assertiveness is always the way to go.
The Bottom Line
CALM ASSERTIVENESS
“Find the balance between temper and submissiveness.”
