Item Description

Ice-blue, sharp celestine crystals with classic chisel terminations came out of this less well-known high-grade Pb-Ag-Zn mine in the mid-1960s with none since. The blue color is deeper in the interior. Complete all-around and essentially pristine. The contacting on the sides, where other crystals once lay, has only one spot of trivial bruising. Choice, large and rare material from the Bob Trimingham Collection and acquired in 1967, when they were coming to market. Bob's label is incorrect.
