Abstract
CELESTINE of Recent origin was first recorded in 1958 by Skinner1 from shallow coastal lagoons in the south-east of South Australia. It has since been found as an early diagenetic mineral in the Recent sediments of the coastal flats of the Sheikdom of Abu Dhabi, Trucial Coast of the Persian Gulf.
