Some of the best, if not the best, selenite crystals have come from the Naica District of Mexico. This visually striking and sculptural, water-clear, gem-like crystal has riveting side striations and gorgeous, twin-like striations on the sloped face. And the crystal is doubly terminated. The bit of attached gossan matrix is a nice accent. Complete-all-around and nearly pristine. Ex. Jaime Bird Collection.
