Item Description

A BEAUTIFUL and AESTHETIC, fan-like, diverging spray of very glassy, nearly water-clear celestine crystals highlighted by a bit of sulfur 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. One chipped termination and trivial termination wear to two crystals are barely noticeable and are certainly not detracting. This fine piece can be displayed from either side, as you can see. Dave lived and worked in Poland for a number of years and bought the specimen there directly from miners who collected it. Valued $750
