Selenite
Description
Recently exchanged to me from the large collection of Jack Halpern, this is a very appealing, sculpturally carved matrix of massive selenite that is host to numerous gem crystals within. It is actually a complete pocket, preserved intact (by removing and trimmig with a saw, to extract it, but this is par for the course on one of these). It is very beautiful and sparkling, both because of the gem crystals themselves and for the contrast to the drusy crystallization coating the matrix pocket in which they grew. One of the better examples I have seen in recent years, these were once common but are now scarce. Jack obtained it from dealer Ken Roberts in the 1980s. Joe Budd photos

Selenite from Spain Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
