Description

Here is a large single selenite crystal from Tuscany with very good transparency and multiple terminations (it looks skeletal) on one side and on the top of the crystal. Light brown clay inclusions at the multiple terminations yield plastic and three-dimensional crystal structures. The other side is high-gloss with a fine structure that is reminiscent of the structure of falling water from a waterfall. There is a contact on the top, which does not distract from the beauty of this specimen at all. the bottom is cut.

You also get the report about the selenite from Tuscany from our website with the photo of the piece on the first page.
