  • A striking mineral specimen featuring transparent, tabular celestine crystals jutting out from a rusty-red hematite-stained matrix. The crystals are glassy and well-formed, arranged in a bristling formation across the specimen's surface. The dramatic contrast between the clear, prismatic crystals and the deep red-brown matrix creates a natural sculptural effect.

In the small world of Turkmen minerals, celestine reigns supreme! Samples like this, showing colorless, glassy, tabular crystals on a matrix colored red by hematite were unearthed in the 1990’s, and now rare on the open market. Here the coverage of crystals, including some on the backside, as well as their elegant form makes this a beautiful cabinet addition. All around in great condition, with some non-detracting edge wear.
