Celestite contains Strontium which would burn with a red color in a flame. Calcite and Halite contain Calcium and Sodium, respectively, which both burn orange. If you can crush a tiny portion of the crystal into a powder and carefully sprinkle it into a flame (preferably in a dark space) you should be able to see the red color of Strontium if it is present.
