The Celestite field of the Sulfates section should be used to record stations where celestite is found.

Celestite (also known as strontium sulfate) is colorless to sky-blue. It occurs in crusts and linings on the walls and is a precipitate and indicator of sulfuric-acid dissolution. The size of individual crystals can vary from 1 cm to 80 cm (about 2.5 ft).
