Celestine & hot Calcite

A cavern-like vugh sandwiched between silty grey marl matrix contains small elongated transparent celestine crystals. These are interspersed with tiny glittering white calcite crystals in clusters. All are well terminated. This aesthetic and interesting piece was collected in the early 2000's from a rarely seen but distinctive Spanish locality for fine celestine. The detail is best viewed with a loupe or hand lens.
