M816 Selenite Rose

$15.00

Here is something different for the mineral collector, a nice Selenite Rose specimen.  This material has a unique appearance much like a frosted pine cone cluster in normal light and has a pale blue color under SW UV light and a pretty silvery white under a LW UV light.  This specimen measures approximately 3″ x 3 1/2″.  Very cool!
