Item Description

Silver-blue Celestine is rare for the famous Wessels Mine. The Celestine has a lovely pearly luster, and I have not seen Celestine with this particular habit (fine blades rotated through spheres) anywhere but Wessels. The cluster measures 2.1 cm across. An excellent thumbnail for both aesthetics and rarity.
