AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful Celestine from Madagascar, with a rich light-blue crystallization covering the entire front side of the sample.
The crystals, of varying sizes and partly overlapped, show good transparency and a pleasant luster, with tones that become more intense in the areas where the crystallization is deeper.
In the center a small cavity opens, surrounded by well-developed crystals, which adds depth and movement to the whole.
Toward the edges the crystallization becomes progressively finer and lighter.
The back presents the typical white matrix of Madagascar Celestine.
Provenance: Madagascar
Weight: 2.177 kg
Dimensions: 13 × 14 × 6.5 cm
