Item Description

A colorful, striking, multi-hued, doubly terminated, translucent with waxy luster, pseudo-hexagonal aragonite crystal with a beautiful lavender mid-section, nearly colorless to light gray terminations and three dramatic side car crystals. 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. 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.
