Item Description
Celestine and calcite combinations of this high quality and aesthetics are uncommon from this well-known locale, famous for cognac-colored fluorite cubes with celestine. The three celestine blades, jauntily set on the mounded matrix covered with glassy straw-yellow calcite scalenohedrons, are exceptional and rare for the locale. The sharp, glassy, tabular crystals are transparent to translucent with colorless lower sections and beautiful ice-blue, chisel terminations. The impresssive large crystal is 5.8 cm long and the three are pristine. The noted periphery wear is certainly only a modest detraction to this rare and excellent combination with large celestine crystals of uncommon quality.
