Transparent blue crystals of Celestite on matrix. These are found in geodes, but this one is about as opposite-looking as a geode as you could imagine, with a mounded matrix covered with elengated crystals sticking out in all directions. The main crystal is 4.5cm tall, transparent, and perfect. Note that the only contact is on the side of a back crystal as seen in photos, and although this crystal has a more flat than pointy termination, it is a good undamaged termination. Visually striking specimen from the Paul Geffner collection.
