Celestine

N’Chwaning II Mine, Kuruman, Kalahari, Northern Cape, South Africa

Miniature

3.2 x 1.8 x 1.2 cm

A fabulous pastel-blue miniature cluster of celestine, with two well-formed crystals. It is an incredibly lustrous and glassy piece, showing intricate detail in the flat crystal faces. The piece has no matrix, amplifying the translucency of the specimen.
