Item Description

Intergrown bi-colored aragonite crystals form a sculptural pair from recent finds at this Spanish locale. These are certainly some of the most colorful and sculptural examples in the world. A couple of side car crystals add charcter. The colorful, multi-hued, doubly terminated, translucent with waxy luster, pseudo-hexagonal crystals have beautiful violet mid-sections and light gray terminations. An attachment is at the base of the piece. The piece has been lightly cleaned with acid to bring out the bright, sparkly exterior luster. Excellent material from these new finds
