Mexico and Spain are the leading producers of celestite, the most common strontium ore. Those countries produced nearly 80 percent of the estimated 360 kt (397,000 st) of celestite produced worldwide during 2002. China and Turkey are other significant celestite producers.

Deposits of strontianite, another strontium ore, have been identified in China and Malawi. Production from these deposits, however, is relatively small. Chemical Products is the only major U.S. maker of strontium comp...
