Description

A rich drusy of celestite from this classic Spanish locality. Crystals are pale blue and transparent at their very tips, with very good lustre for the specie and locality. Sizeable and in great conditions, with fairly minimal peripheral bruising. A rather old specimen.

In my collection since several years, I was lucky enough to find it in the UK at a local mineral show.
