Some of the best, if not the best, selenite crystals have come from the Naica District of Mexico. This visually striking and sculptural specimen consists of two, intergrown, water-clear, gem-like, spear-point crystals very aesthetically attached to gossan matrix. The crystals have gorgeous, twin-like striations on the sloped, side faces. Complete-all-around and nearly pristine. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
