Aesthetic crystals of celestine on a crystalized aragonite base. Under longwave UV light the celestine fluoresces ghostly blue, while the aragonite fluoresces its typical bright pink/red. Unfortunately, the base was roughly trimmed, leaving it noticeably scarred. Interesting is also the locality: obviously a Sicilian piece, but coming from Serradifalco, a lesser known sulphur mines locality.
