AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Impressive celestine geode with a deep crystal cavity and a rich array of crystals ranging from clear to light blue in color.

The specimen has a particularly attractive natural form. The exterior consists of the original rough rock matrix, while the interior is fully dominated by characteristic light-blue celestine crystals. Several crystals are substantial in size with clear crystal faces, causing the object to shimmer differently from various angles.

Due to the combination of the robust natural exterior and the refined blue crystals on the inside, this is both an interesting mineralogical collectible and a very decorative piece for an interior, display case, or mineral collection.

The specimen originates from the specialized gemstone and mineral trade of Idar-Oberstein, Germany.

Specifications

* Mineral: Celestine / Celestite
* Type: natural geode / crystal cluster
* Weight: approx. 2,589 grams
* Dimensions: approx. 14 × 12 × 10 cm
* Color: light blue to blue-gray
* Finish: natural / unpolished

Because this is a completely natural mineral, crystals may show small natural fissures, growth lines, inclusions, irregularities, and color variations. These belong to the natural formation of the mineral and should not be considered damage.

The photos are an integral part of the description and show the actual character, the natural structure, and the different sides of the offered specimen.

The object is very carefully packaged and insured shipped with tracking. Personal pickup in Idar-Oberstein, Germany, is also possible by appointment.
