Item Description

This locality is well-known for producing superb examples of Celestine - maybe the best in the world - and this piece is no exception. An outstanding 3.6 cm, long, razor-sharp, highly lustrous, GEM quality, stout prism with a classic "chisel"-shaped termination and that classic icy blue color is perfectly flaring out of a bed of a smaller Celestines on matrix. The main Celestine crystal is completely pristine and so perfectly oriented on the specimen. It is truly remarkable how fine the quality is on this one. Most people know Celestine, but few collectors have one in their collections, but a top tier quality example like this, could find a home in any collection. Valued at $2,000 in the inventory for superior quality and aesthetics.
