A fine diverging spray of very glassy, nearly water-clear, colorless celestine crystals resting on a bit of contrasting Sulfur from the Machow Mine of Poland and the Dave Stoudt Collection. The glassy prisms are particularly gemmy at the sharp, chisel terminations. Dave lived and worked in Poland for a number of years and bought the specimen there directly from miners who collected it.
