Single blue crystal of Halite from Germany. This is an older specimen from a classic German locality. Interestingly, the blue color is caused by natural radiation in the mine. Good crystal faces on all sides with the bottom face a cleavage. The entire crystal is nicely translucent with the blue color occurring in specific zones. Rare old crystal!!
