Description

By far one of the coolest celestite from Machow I have ever had, this cabinet specimen is alarge drusy featuring over two dozens of grey elongated celestite crystals of very good quality, with chisel-head termination and good lustre. Associated, a couple of canary yellow sulphur crystals which help with the color contrast.
Some peripheral bruising, this specimen comes from two great dealers Schlepp (USA) and Broadstone (UK) at a pretty significant price. I am letting it go for a reasonable price due to a massive downsizing of my collection.
