In the 80ies and 90ies of the last century specimens from this great Polish locality was supplied trunk wise by Polish and other European mineral dealers and offered for little money on almost every mineral show. Good specimen were still in those days rare and hard to obtain and nowadays most of them disappeared wherever. And this is a superfine, contrastful colourful and sparkly piece.

The Celestine has a few imperfection.
