Item Description
A sharp, glassy, halite cube with extreme stepped-growth faces and striking speckles of blue color from a New Find in New Mexico. Such specimens have trickled out rarely in the past. The blue color is caused by the migration of sodium metal ions. Rare and highly desirable material.
