Description
This exceptional white celestite specimen comes from the legendary Maybee Quarry in Monroe County, Michigan, a classic North American mineral locality famous for producing some of the world’s finest celestine crystals. Unlike the more common blue celestite from Madagascar, these crystals formed in a soft pearl-white to icy translucent hue, giving the specimen a luminous, ethereal glow.
The crystals grow in sharp orthorhombic formations, often with brilliant natural terminations that reflect light with subtle flashes of silver and frost. The clean white coloration makes this material especially rare and desirable among serious mineral collectors.
This specimen represents a piece of classic American mineral history — a true collector’s celestite.

Celestite from this locality is known for its exceptional crystal size and sharp crystal faces, making it one of the most important celestine deposits ever discovered in North America.
