5.0 x 4.4 x 1.0 cm. Water-clear, tabular celestine crystals of this quality are rare and very seldom available from the classic and long-extinct Yate Quarry of England. This very fine, two-sided, glassy, sharp crystal is very slightly tapered and the beveled termination has an interesting dusting of the hematite. Old-time material from this historic locale from the Robert Sullivan Collection.
