Item Description

These impressive bi-colored floater aragonite crystals from recent finds at this Spanish locale are certainly some of the most colorful and sculptural examples in the world. This very fine larger piece is more striking than most, with the multiple side car crystals. The colorful, multi-hued, doubly terminated, translucent with waxy luster, pseudo-hexagonal crystal has a beautiful lavender mid-section, light gray terminations and at least 15 dramatic side car crystals. The piece has been lightly cleaned with acid to bring out the bright, sparkly exterior luster, which really enhances the piece. A most colorful, sculptural and exotic example of a common species.
