Angelite is a trade name for a semi-transparent light blue-gray fine grained Anhydrite marketed as a gem material from Peru. Small lapidary industries in Lima made it into spheres, eggs, "wands", animal carvings, and other figures. The term angelite first appeared as a new age/metaphysical name and had various "powers" attributed to it. As yet, the name has not been applied to anhydrite from any other locality.
