Celestine with Sulfur (Dave Stoudt Coll.)

Item Description

A beautiful and aesthetic, fan-like, diverging spray of very glassy, nearly water-clear celestine crystals accented by a bit of sulfur at the base and one the back from the famous Machow Mine of Poland and the Dave Stoudt Collection. The glassy prisms are particularly gemmy at the sharp terminations of this two-sided specimen. EXCELLENT material from this famous locale. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, a bit of very trivial edgewear and one broken sidecar crystal on the back are noted. Certainly not detracting. Dave lived and worked in Poland for a number of years and bought the specimen there directly from miners who collected it. Valued $500.
