An old-time, classic and showy CABINET specimen of glassy, translucent crystals of colorless celestine in pagoda-like clusters with chisel terminations. The very 3-dimensional celestine clusters RICHLY cover the sulfur matrix, which surprisingly, has only trivial bruising on a few crystals for such a large and old piece. This classic specimen is from Agrigento, Sicily and is from the George Elling Collection.
