Description

Very interesting specimen of celestine on matrix from an emblematic American site, this piece comes from an old Spanish collection and perhaps was extracted more than 50 years ago and comes from another, even older collection. I have considered preserving the base with the name and the adhesive label of the deposit attached to the base.
