Angelite Crystal Meaning, Healing Properties & Uses

Soft sky-blue gemstone often worn for peace, comfort and a gentle sense of angelic support in daily life.

Soft Blue Stone

Angelite is the trade name for a soft blue form of anhydrite, known for its soothing colour and gentle, cloud-like presence. Because it is relatively soft and sensitive to water, it is best reserved for jewelry and tumbled pieces that are handled with extra care.

JewelryTumbled

Angelite is a pale blue variety of anhydrite, a calcium sulfate mineral closely related to gypsum. The name "angelite" became popular in the late 20th century for material from Peru that showed a soft, sky-blue colour and velvety surface, quickly adopted in modern crystal and metaphysical work. Because anhydrite gradually transforms to gypsum in the presence of water, most angelite on the market is cut and polished for gentle, occasional-wear jewelry rather than heavy-duty daily pieces.

Angelite is a blue trade name for anhydrite, giving a soft, matte glow rather than a glassy sparkle.

Calcium sulfate

Unlike traditional gems, angelite is a modern trade name used mainly in crystal and jewelry circles.

Anhydrite is sensitive to water and can alter over time, so angelite is handled more gently than harder stones.

How to work with this crystal

Angelite is a pale blue variety of anhydrite that forms in soft, opaque masses with a slightly chalky texture.
Common sources include Peru, Mexico and parts of Europe such as Germany.
With an approximate hardness around 3–3.5 on the Mohs scale, it is best suited for pendants, earrings and bead strands that are worn gently, rather than heavy-duty rings or bracelets.

Care & Handling ›

Keep each piece in its own soft pouch or box compartment so chains and stones do not rub or tangle.
Avoid keeping jewelry in bathrooms or other humid spots; store in a dry, cool place away from direct heat.
After each wear, gently wipe jewelry with a soft, dry cloth before putting it back into storage.
Take jewelry off for sports, workouts, heavy lifting and housework to avoid dents, chips and deformation.
Do not leave jewelry in hot cars, near windows or heaters for long periods; store in a cool, shaded place.
For water-safe jewelry, soak briefly in lukewarm water with mild soap, brush softly, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Where could I invite more softness and compassion into my daily routine? What does feeling spiritually supported look like for me in practical, everyday terms? Which situations make it hardest for me to speak calmly, and what small change would help? How does my body feel when I imagine being fully held and supported?

I allow myself to slow down and soften. I am supported by gentle, unseen helpers as I move through my day. It is safe for me to rest and receive comfort. My voice can be calm, honest and kind at the same time.
