Celestine (the IMA-accepted name) [6] or celestite [1] [7] [a] is a mineral consisting of strontium sulfate (Sr S O 4). The mineral is named for its occasional delicate blue color. Celestine and the carbonate mineral strontianite are the principal sources of the element strontium, commonly used in fireworks and in various metal alloys.
Strontium is a chemical element with symbol Sr and atomic number 38. Strontium may also refer to: Strontium Technology, a Singaporean manufacturing company; Strontium unit, a unit used to measure the amount of radioactivity from strontium-90; STRONTIUM, a code name used by Microsoft for advanced persistent threat Fancy Bear
The ratio 87 Sr/ 86 Sr is the parameter typically reported in geologic investigations; [4] ratios in minerals and rocks have values ranging from about 0.7 to greater than 4.0 (see rubidium–strontium dating). Because strontium has an electron configuration similar to that of calcium, it readily substitutes for calcium in minerals.
