Simply calling this Ram's Horn Selenite a "mineral specimen" does a disservice to the magical crystal structure and remarkable aesthetics. More than a specimen, it is natural art, like an ice sculpture or frozen crashing waves. The matrix of the piece sprouts with broad, wide pillars of Selenite, some curling backwards and some curling towards the front, splitting from each other in a dynamic, lively arrangement. Many of these swirling pillars end in delicate, tight curls, like filigree. The display quality of this Selenite is second to none. This specimen comes with a custom acrylic base.
