Item Description

A 3.5 cm, totally limpid, sharply terminated selenite crystal is aesthetically set on matrix covered with sparkly, amber, dogtooth, calcite crystals on this showy combination specimen from an obscure Moroccan locale. Part of selenite base is covered by calcite crystals. The beautiful gypsum looks like a faceted gemstone and rivals or surpasses pieces from classic Naica, Mexico. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!
