Item Description
Strikingly opposing, parallel-growth clusters of discrete, two-toned, celestine blades form a colorful, dramatic and excellent plate from this well-known mine in Tunisia. The lustrous and translucent, very light blue celestine blades have a preferential limonite coating on the terminations. The interior is pristine and the showy piece displays well from every side. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued by Herb at $180, five or more years ago.
