Item Description
A tall, gemmy, spectacular, flattened, doubly terminated crystal of selenite from Naica! It is just GLASS-CLEAR, with VERY trivial wear (both terminations and slight edge wear) compared to what you normally see on these super-soft specimens (2 on the Mohs scale). The prominent contact, with no damage, per se, is noted, but it really adds character to this stunning piece. Fabulous terminations and sharp faces; non-mineral collectors can hardly believe these grow naturally. Older material. Ex Consie Prince Collection.
