Description from the seller

Selenite – Naica Mine, Saucillo, Chihuahua, Mexico

Textbook-quality, sharp-edged and transparent double-terminated gypsum from the famous Naica Mine. The water-clear crystal dates from the 1970s. This is an excellent piece for any collection. The contact point with a touch of matrix gives the piece a graphic balance and makes the 12.5 cm crystal appear more striking. Now, with the Naica Mine closed, these superior crystals have become true treasures and are difficult to acquire.
