We are presenting this remarkable specimen featuring twin fatty crystals of Celestine with the deepest color saturation, amazing color, perfect luster, and an incredible termination. The Celestine crystals against the yellow Calcite matrix sparkle with shocking color saturation. This effect is difficult to capture in video, making it exceptionally impactful when displayed on a shelf. The combination of color, luster, and form is aesthetic and outstanding. The piece is nearly complete, exhibiting a great aesthetic shape.
