Item Description

A striking and aesthetic, fan-like, diverging spray of very glassy, translucent, color-zoned tan celestine crystals highlighted by a bit of sulphur at the base from the Machow Mine of Poland and the Dave Stoudt Collection # 531. The glassy prisms are lighter tan at the broad, sharp, chisel terminations of this fine two-sided specimen. Essentially pristine, with just a bit of periphery wear on the back side. Excellent material from this famous locale. Dave lived and worked in Poland for a number of years and bought the specimen in Warsaw in 1998.
