Description |
Translucent blue Celestine crystals with brick-red Hematite inclusions in the terminations. These were sold years ago by Weinrich mislabeled as Barite, but were correctly identified in 1999. The crystals grew in a constricted vein preventing complete crystal development. Most visible crystals show cleavage faces. |
