Description

A French collector has found this selenite in the Pyrenees on the way to the Berbes fluorites . I do not know the exact location, but I suspect it is from the French side. It is a very nice floater piece that reminds of a star. The crystals are transparent with clay-colored inclusions in the center. Very beautiful specimen from a not exact known location!
