Item Description
A superb and rare (for the famous Wessels Mine), pearly, silver-blue Celestine on matrix. The luster is excellent, and I have not seen Celestine with this particular habit (fine blades rotated through spheres) anywhere but Wessels. The cluster measures 1.8 cm across. An excellent thumbnail for both aesthetics and rarity.
