Item Description

An impressive, sculptural and rare large cluster of intergrown celestine crystals from this less well-known quarry, near the famous Maybee Quarry. Specimens from here are rare compared to those from the Maybee Quarry. Aesthetically intergrown, sharp, glassy, translucent, whitish-gray crystals have sharp terminations. The large 6.5 cm, doubly terminated crystal on the front has a striking sawtooth edge. A 7.5 cm, doubly terminated crystal is hidden on the back, as a bonus. Rare and excellent large Michigan celestine from the Robert Nowakowski Collection # 15.
