The bill H. B. No. 2025-2026, introduced by Representative Brent and co-sponsored by Representatives Brennan, Piccolantonio, and Brownlee, aims to designate Celestine as Ohio's official mineral. The proposed legal language outlines that Celestine is a sulfate mineral characterized by its appearance in various colors, including sky-blue, white, pale yellow, and colorless, and can be found in orthorhombic crystals or fibrous masses. Additionally, it is noted that Celestine serves as a major ore for strontium, which is used in producing the bright red flames seen in fireworks.

The bill seeks to enact section 5.079 of the Revised Code, officially adopting Celestine as the state mineral of Ohio. This designation highlights the mineral's significance and its unique properties, contributing to the state's geological identity.
