Item Description
Sakoany celestines are considered to be amongst the finest in the world and this CABINET piece is highly representative of the species and locality. The vug in the sculptural matrix is totally lined gemmy and lustrous, light steel-blue, celestine crystals with classic chisel terminations. They almost look like topaz crystals. The large dominating crystal is 5.3 cm. The periphery wear is noted, as is the modest ding to the large crystal. This remains classic and very showy Sakoany material.
