Tabular White Celestite with Golden Calcite | Ohio

A striking combination piece featuring tabular white celestite crystals layered with warm golden calcite. The celestite forms in crisp, blade-like structures, creating a soft, architectural contrast against the honey-toned calcite scattered throughout.

Sourced from the well-known Lime City Quarry in Ohio, this specimen brings together two calcium-based minerals formed under different conditions. Celestite (SrSO₄) offers delicate, airy crystal growth, while calcite (CaCO₃) adds texture, warmth, and a natural golden glow.

Under UV light, the calcite fluoresces brightly and continues to glow with a soft phosphorescence even after the light source is removed. A piece that quite literally holds onto the light.
