Enthusiasts and laymen alike will marvel at the aesthetics and crystal structure in this specimen, a Selenite that is so incredible that it looks more fantasy than science. The humble Selenite, due to the geological conditions of the pocket it formed in, twisted into a fabulous "Ram's Horn" habit with ancillary fleurs accenting the primary curl in the center. The shimmering striped surface evokes fresh powdered snow. By all regards it is the perfect Ram's Horn Selenite, a superlative example from Touissit, a historic and prestigious locality in its own right. This specimen comes with a custom acrylic base.
