Item Description

Water-clear, tabular, celestite crystals of this quality are rare and very seldom available from the classic and long-extinct Yate Quarry of England. This very fine, two-sided, glassy, sharp crystal is very slightly tapered and the beveled termination has a nifty dusting of the hematite. Old-time material from this historic locale from the Robert Sullivan Collection.
