Description

A really interesting large and heavy celestite from a not commonly known locality. The specimen features large tabular pale blue crystals of fair size that have what appears to be a white frosting on them but in fact is caused by masses of white radiating crystals of ? that have formed in the outer edges of the crystals. Fascinating under magnification.

Due to the size and weight of this specimen (over 500 grams) I am offering a flat worldwide shipping rate of $20 for this specimen only.

However if purchased with any other Gondwana specimen, a further postal discount of $5 will be applied, making it very affordable.
