Gemological info: Angelite is considered to be a new age anhydrite gemstone only discovered in 1987 in Peru. Anhydrite comes from the Greek word “anhydras” which means “without water”— referring to it as a gypsum that has completely lost its hydration. The largest deposits of Angelite are in Peru and Mexico, but it is also found in some areas of Europe, Libya, and Egypt. Workers at local lapidary factories in Lima, Peru craft wands, eggs, and animal carvings from Angelite.
Metaphysical Properties: Angelite is known by many as *The Stone of Awareness* or *The Gateway Crystal*. It encourages individuals to connect with the energy lines of the universe and reach a higher form of consciousness. This stone drives away insecurity, doubts, and fears; allowing inner peace, forgiveness, and empathy to
take over.
