Description

The world's best, and certainly the largest, selenite crystals are found at Naica. This double terminated, transparent  to clear selenite crystal is considered small for the locality, where crystal length is measured in meters, but it is perfectly sized for bringing it home. Complete and undamaged, recently released from my own collection. With a quartz negative hollow form on one face.
