A stunning, transparent "wand" of selenite from the world's most famous selenite (gypsum) locality, Naica - where the legendary "Cave of Swords" is located, packed with huge selenite crystals. Some bruising, as almost all of these have (since they are extremely soft), but very sharp and water-clear. Ex. Consie Prince Collection.
