Description

Very rare material from this classic locality. And this is not just a sample, assemble, aesthetic, colour and dimension are really remarkable! Great contrast of light blue, glossy celestine to yellow (by sulphur) matrix. Celestine is developed in several sprays, looks very pleasant in several positions and overall it is in good condition damage-wise.
