A 6.0 cm, water-clear, striated selenite blade is aesthetically angled atop a mounded matrix covered with smaller selenite crystals on this fine specimen from Naica and the Consie Prince Collection. The slightly curved composite blades at the tip of the sharp, angled termination are a fascinating feature. There is a fine variety of selenite crystals, including pencils and a doubly terminated crystal, at the base.
