A gorgeous CABINET specimen of lustrous and transparent golden amber selenite crsytals to 3.0 x 1.8 cm on halite matrix from the Pisco Mine, Ica Department, Peru. Absolutely minimal damage to this beautiful specimen. One of the better large specimens we have seen, in particular because it preserves the halite association (many of them get dissolved away in situ). very SPARKLY and colorful, MORE SO In PERSON. 16.5 x 9.0 x 6.5 cm
