Some of the best Selenite crystals ever have come from the Naica District of Mexico. This visually striking doubly terminated, water-clear, gem-like crystal has incredibly sharp faces, edges and very pointed terminations! It displays distinct striations on the prism faces and gorgeous, twin-like striations on the sloped faces. It is nearly three inches from point to point and sits on a mottled pink and cream matrix that can be seen right through the absolute water-clear crystal for amazing effect! Complete-all-around and nearly pristine. From a special pocket of 2020.
