About this specimen

Dimensions: 3.3 × 3.2 × 3.1 cm (1.30 × 1.26 × 1.22 in); longest edge 33 mm (1.30 in).

A sky-blue celestite crystal rises through a pale calcite cluster on this compact Afghanistan mineral specimen.

The central blue crystal presents crisp, blocky faces above a low ring of cream to pale yellow calcite. Four complete photographs show the front, both oblique sides and the reverse, where the contrast between the blue crystal and granular calcite remains clear. Identified as celestite and calcite; the locality is Afghanistan. The photographed box and clear support are display aids; their inclusion in the sale is unconfirmed. Natural contacts and irregular lower edges remain visible.
